Stacey Solomon left her fans concerned after sporting a black eye in a new Instagram picture, after unveiling her latest DIY project.

The Loose Women star- who recently shared her plans to quit showbiz in favour of spending more time with her kids Zachary, 16, Leighton, 11, Rex, five, Rose, two and one-year-old Belle - revealed she sustained the injury after struggling to build a coop for her new ducklings but hadn't let the bruise dampen her mood.

Taking to her Instagram page on Tuesday, Stacey showed off the impressive duck pen to her devoted followers and revealed that due to her excitement for the project, had opted to get started on it early, but later suffered the consequences of her actions. Stacey admitted she suffered at the hands of her impulsive decision since she wanted to get started on building the coop earlier than planned and in dim lighting.

The 34-year-old mother-of-five revealed the bruise on her left eye where she had dropped part of the coop on it during building and said: "I thought 'If I don't put it up right this second I won't put it up until the weekend'" She went on to joked: "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."

She 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.'

But her injury did not stop her from expressing her excitement. 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."

Stacey introduced the new additions to her brood last week and took to her Instagram page to gush: "Welcome To Pickle Cottage Little Ones. We are so excited to love you & we hope you love living here & being a part of our crazy family. We have no idea what to call our new babies yet, so any suggestions welcome. Honestly wanted to make our garden home to ducklings for so long so thank you @luisazissman from giving us the opportunity to raise your hatchlings."

It comes after Stacey recently confessed that plans on becoming a stay-at-home mum, as she prioritises spending time with her children instead. Talking on the Glad We Had This Chat podcast, she said: “Every year I have a team meeting with my agent and everyone on the team to say ‘What's your plan, what's your goals, blah, blah, blah. And this year when they asked me my five-year goals, I was like ‘I want to be a stay-at-home mum’.”
