Stacey Solomon has revealed that she gave herself a black eye while doing some DIY at home.

The Loose Women star took to her Instagram Story to show her followers the nasty eye injury, explaining that she sustained it while trying to build a flat-pack coop for her new ducklings.

"I thought, 'If I don't put it up right this second I won't put it up until the weekend'," she shared, adding: "And any normal person would say: 'it's fine to put it up at the weekend, they're not going to be in that coop for another six weeks'... but my toxic trait is if there's something in front of me I have to do it immediately."

Stacey continued: "So I persisted to build a duck coop in literally dusk, dusk lighting and I got to the roof, got to the triangle bit on the roof and dropped it on my eye [laughs]. Ugh, why am I like this?

"So that'll be fun at the shoot tomorrow. It will probably be worse tomorrow. It's always worse the day after the day after."

However, she’s not letting it dampen her spirits, as she added: "But it was worth it. I'll show the coop it looks really good. I've still got to do the base and dig out the pond but it is really cool and I'm very excited."

It comes shortly after Stacey suggested that she might step back from TV in the future to spend more to time with her five children.

"I said I want to be a stay-at-home mum. That is like my dream, my ultimate dream. I just want to be with my kids," she said on the on the Glad We Had This Chat podcast, in reference to a recent meeting she had with her team.

"I mean, it is conflicting because I also want to fulfil my dreams and my goals and the things that I'm passionate about, because if I don't have that, will I feel unfulfilled? So what I'm trying to do at this point is make sure everything I work on I can work on 90% of the time at home."
