Ahead of her wedding to Joe Swash, Stacey Solomon has quit social media.

Alongside a snap of a bathtub running water, she wrote: "Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your beautiful messages and the kindest well wishes ever.

"Thank you for all your advice and tips.

"One of the pieces of advice all of you told me was to soak it all in and enjoy every second because it's over in a flash.

"So I'm going to say goodbye to my phone for a few days and make sure I take in every moment, the set up the getting ready, the day and the aftermath.

"I love you all lots and lots and lots. Thank you for your kindness always and lots of love from Joe, Harry, Zachary, Leighton, Rex and Rose.

"And me - Soon to be Solomon Swash".

In the run-up to the big day, Stacey had been transforming her garden into the perfect wedding venue.

She gave guests a glimpse of the finished product showing off wooden tables and chairs laid out.

She said: "Good Morning, Set Up Time.

"A special message to Ikea who has given me the opportunity to borrow their beautiful chairs, tables, cutlery and so much more so that we can use them for the day and then we will clean them and donate them to charity.

"I am so grateful to have this chance to be able to give to different charities to pass on to people who will be able to use it...

"It is a huge privilege to have a platform and I don't take if for granted.

"Nothing is guaranteed and nothing lasts forever so while I have the chance, I'm so glad to be able to do things like this…”

The Loose Women star - who is mum to Zachary, 14, Leighton, 10, Rex, three, and baby Rose - also shared a photo of her new hair.

Sharing three photos of her transformation on Sunday, Stacey said: “Wedding Hair Done 👰‍♀️ It feels so so lovely to be blonde again 🥲 For some reason I just wanted to be back to me and my (not so natural but natural 😂) for our special day.

“As much as I love changing to fun bright colours I didn’t want anything crazy for the wedding and just want to feel as me as possible 😂 I love it so much. It was a process but it was sooo WORTH IT 😉 Happy Friyay everyone. Not long to go 🥹”
