After returning home from filming her show, Sort Your Life Out, last night, Stacey got down to business and transformed her conservatory with help from son Zachary, 13.

The mum-of-three shared the whole process on her Instagram story with her 4.4million followers.

After blowing up loads of balloons she created an arch in front of the windows and she also used her sister Gemma’s ocean decorations from a previous party.

The bunting, inflatable pool toys and perfectly wrapped up presents made the space look absolutely incredible.

The youngster was treated to an amazing two-tier Moana-themed cake, cuddly toys and a wooden tool set.

The telly star told her fans: “It’s been a crazy morning.

“We sang and opened presents, he got his very first remote car just like Zachy’s and he was very excited.
