STACEY Solomon sent temperatures soaring as she shared a sizzling bikini snap on her recent holiday in Turkey with husband Joe Swash and their family.
Posting a photo on Instagram , the TV star, 35, could be seen posing up a storm as she stood in a waterfall pool in a skimpy black bikini as she enjoyed in the sun at the Regnum Carya hotel.
And while many were left swooning over Stacey’s stunning figure, it seems she has a clear number one fan – her husband Joe Swash , who even shared her stunning snaps on his own Instagram.
Speaking to Fabulous, a source claimed: “Joe and Stacey are in a really good place right now, they enjoyed a lovely summer , they managed to get away with the family and have some down time after a busy few months and that quality time has done them the world of good.
“And both of them are feeling great physically, which helps.”
The mum-of-five, who often trains with sister Jemma, has her own gym at Pickle cottage, complete with sleek grey floor and personalised ‘Pickles Gym’ logo.
And she’s openly spoken about how her body “looks different” from last year’s holiday pictures because she has “consistently stuck to her weight training.”
The Loose Women star, who shares Rex, five, Rose, two, and Belle, one, with husband Joe, and is also mum to Zachary, 16, and Leighton, 12, wrote alongside the bikini snaps: “Feeling beautiful. My sister hyped me up today & made me feel really pretty so I’m posting these. I love you Jem.
“P.S my body looks a little different to last years summer holiday.
“I am actually so proud of myself because I’ve stuck to my weight training consistently since February.
“Kept quiet and just got my head down & kept going.”
Stacey went on to say how she does it because she wants to be “so strong” and added: “I want to forever be able to pick up my babies with ease & carry double buggies on my shoulder when necessary.
“I feel so much stronger this year which is so empowering & yes my body has changed but honestly I loved my body aesthetically last year as much as I do this year.”
Stacey continued: “I’ve always been beautiful no matter what shape or size. So I suppose what I’m trying to say is… Don’t commit to fitness just for the looks.
“Do it so you can wrestle your 17 year old & carry all three of your toddlers in 40• heat & you’ll enjoy the journey more.”
And no one seems more proud of Stacey’s ever-growing confidence than her husband of three years.
The last few weeks they’ve really become closer. He could barely keep his hands off her over the summer and you can’t blame him, she looks incredible

“He’s so proud of her and the way she looks and he wants the world to see what he sees.
“The last few weeks they’ve really become closer. He could barely keep his hands off her over the summer and you can’t blame him, she looks incredible.”
And according to a source, Joe has been “massively inspired by Stacey” to workout “because she’s in such amazing shape.”

Just last week Joe took to Instagram and posted a photo of himself hitting the gym.
Addressing his impressive 2.1 million followers, he penned: “I hate going to the gym, but I love leaving feeling like I’ve actually achieved something.
“Been training with @dnz_fitx for a few months now… which is a miracle in itself.
“Not trying to be a bodybuilder, just want to feel fitter, stronger, and keep up with the kids.”
He then went on to ask his social media followers for advice on how to make fitness part of everyday life.
“Stacey’s been really focused on her weight training for months and the results speak for themselves,” the source claimed.
“Joe doesn’t care what size or shape she is, he never has, but he’s super proud of her and loves seeing her so confident.
“It’s a real turn on for him, knowing she feels so good about herself. And so she should, she’s worked hard and it’s paying off.
“He’s determined to keep up and has been working out more too.
“Feeling good physically has definitely reignited a romantic spark in both of them, which is quite impressive given how big the family is and how busy they usually are with their work.”
While Joe and Stacey are getting back to work now and with the kids going back to school , it won’t be long before their usual homelife at Pickle cottage will start again.
But Joe’s reportedly determined to keep the momentum going.
“He’s promised Stacey more date nights and romantic gestures when they get the chance,” the source claimed.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if they do a solo trip, like a weekend away, or similar, in the next few weeks while they’re still on a high from their ‘sexy summer.'”
Stacey has enjoyed a jam-packed summer, and even jetted off to Paris with son Zachary for two days.
Sharing what they got up to, she told her Instagram followers: “We went Pokemon hunting yesterday & today, it’s something we’ve done for years & have never been to a proper city Go Fest.
“So for his birthday this year we got tickets & we have been counting down the days.”
A few days earlier Stacey could be seen showing off snaps from her trip to Lake Como where she filmed some ads for her Rehab hair brand.
Posing on a boat in a monochrome one-shouldered swimsuit, she enthused: “Thank you Lake Como – it what a dream come true.”
