However, after sharing a photos of their dippy egg dish, fans reacted in shock that she hadn’t toasted the soldiers and rather kept them as plain bread.

In fact, there was such an outcry that mum-of-four Stacey felt the need to address the debate herself as she didn’t realise it would be such an issue.

Giggling from the comfort of her sofa, Stacey said: “Oh my gosh, so many of you are like ‘[gasp] Is that just egg and bread?’ I’ve never ever toasted a soldier in all my life. I’ve always thought soldiers was just normal bread!”

Looking to her mates off camera for support, she asked: “Do you toast your soldiers Char?”

Charlotte responded “never” but acknowledged that they may be in the minority for it.

Her other pal, Harriet, added while she didn’t toast her soldiers now, growing up she did with her mum preferring to cook them that way, telling Stacey: “We broke the tradition.”

“Honestly, I only know bready soldiers, and so many of you are like, ‘eurgh, you haven’t toasted your soldiers!’,” Stacey lauged.

“I was concerned, I thought I might have made something disgusting for Charlotte and Harriet!”

Stacey is definitely embracing Christmas this year and has even transformed her beloved ‘Pickle Cottage’ home into a Disney-inspired wonderland for the holidays.

Always thrifty, Stacey revealed the “dream Christmas tree” for her and husband Joe Swash’s home was made for free from her garden – and fans absolutely loved it.

Decorations were bought from Primark to keep spending to a minimum.

She even got her adorable baby daughter Rose in on the festivities – dressing her up in cosy knits and popping her on a sleigh for photographs.

However, Stacey has also spoken about the holidays being particularly sad this year following the death of the families beloved dog at the same time last year.
