‘It sounds big-headed but I feel beautiful’: Stacey Solomon proudly announces she’s ‘put on a bra and make-up’ for lockdown date night with beau Joe Swash in their garden
Ms. Solomon has been keeping her 3.2million Instagram followers entertained with her family’s antics during lockdown. She decided to get dressed up for a date night with her boyfriend Joe Swash in their back garden on Wednesday.
Trying to make the night as romantic as possible, Stacey, 30, took to her Instagram Stories and shared a clip of herself getting ready for the house-bound date before admitting she felt ‘beautiful’ for the evening.
Asking her followers whether or not she should get dressed up, Stacey wrote: ‘So I was thinking of doing my makeup and wearing a dress for date night. Is that sad?’ She asked her legions of social media followers to vote on whether she should wear a dress or keep things casual in a tracksuit.
Stacey then shared a clip of herself curling her hair and wrote: ‘Most of you said to dress up so I’m going for it.’
With the children put to bed, Stacey joined Joe, 38, in the garden for their cosy evening together.
She then posted a stunning snap of her finished look and penned a sweet caption reading: ‘feeling beautiful. I know that sounds really big headed but it hasn’t happened in a while so I’m making the most of the feeling…
‘For the first (and probably the last) time since the lock down began I’m wearing a bra, foundation, my hair isn’t in a mum bun and I’m not wearing a tracksuit…
‘Hoe and me missed date night last week and the boys are back and home school starts again next week so we decided to really go for it tonight in case it’s our last date night for a while…
‘know it sounds really silly but I actually got excited to get dressed up and walk down the stairs into the garden to see Hoe’s face. I hope you’re all ok… Thinking of you always. Love u’.
It comes after Stacey gave Joe a very glamorous makeover in a video shared to her Instagram story on Tuesday.
The TV presenter showed off her make-up skills as she applied foundation, fluttery false lashes and highlighter to her unimpressed beau, completely transforming his look.
Beginning the video by saying: ‘I am so bored, tempted to give him a makeover’ Stacey lay on Joe as the unimpressed star looked on.
The next clip showed Stacey applying eyeshadow and foundation to the former EastEnders star, with the caption: ‘I love you so much Joe Swash, this was so much fun, he even let me do lashes.’
Adding highlighter and pale pink lipstick, Joe showed off his smouldering look for the camera, with Stacey typing: ‘I wish I did my make-up this good, I know he loves it too, I can tell.’
Stacey said: ‘You love it!’ to which Joe responded: ‘I had no choice! I think I’ve got glue in my eyes Stace!’
The star also posted a photo of Joe’s new look, joking: ‘It wasn’t easy finding a colour match to go with the fake tan but I smashed it.’
Stacey revealed that Joe had shaved off his beard into a handlebar moustache earlier this week.
The Loose Women panellist took to Instagram to share a video of her presenter beau as she jokingly likened his facial hair to Tiger King’s Joe Exotic.
Stacey told how Joe decided to shave his beard after letting it grow during isolation.
Admitting she was relieved over the decision as it ‘hurt’ to kiss, the former X Factor star was soon left shocked as her beau unveiled a new handlebar moustache.
Stacey said: ‘What the hell is that? You can’t keep that. Is it a joke or is that what you’re actually having? It’s not what you’re having. Is it real?’
To which Joe admitted: ‘Well it took me so long to grow my beard, I didn’t want to get rid of all of it.’
With Stacey jokingly adding a GIF of Tiger King’s Joe Exotic, she penned: ‘I really thought it was a joke but I think this is what he actually wants to have. I don’t understand it but I’ll stand by him through this.
‘Why have I never noticed how much of a bum chin he has until now?’
Netflix’s Tiger King follows former Oklahoma zoo owner, Joe Exotic, who is currently serving 22 years for 17 counts of animal abuse and a murder-for-hire plot of his arch-nemesis Carole Baskin, a big-cat campaigner from Tampa, Florida.
