Stacey Solomon is travelling around Scotland with her family after her husband splashed out on a £60,000 new motor as a surprise. She shared photos of their road trip on Instagram

Stacey Solomon and her family went on a road trip to Scotland to try to find the Loch Ness Monster.

The Loose Women presenter, 34, took to social media to share a sweet photo with husband Joe Swash and their children Zachary, 15, Leighton, 11, Rex, three, Rose, two, and Belle, one. After Joe, 42, splashed out on a £60,000 new motor as a surprise, they enjoyed an adventure themed around Loch Ness.

Stacey captioned her Instagram post: “On The Craziest Adventure Ever. 5 kids, 1 me, 1 Joe Swash & a caravan. I fell asleep somewhere in Essex & woke up looking for the Loch Ness monster. Joe’s never been happier. Day one has been all about Inverness, and it is BEAUTIFUL. I don’t know what I imagined travelling like this would be.

Stacey’s husband bought a new campervan

“Although it is hard with such little ones, it’s magical. And I don’t think I’ve ever felt so free. And off the grid. I feel Like we can go anywhere & do anything. It’s special. I don’t say this lightly… Joe was right. Happy Sunday Everyone. Lots of love from all of us!”

The mother-of-five joked that Joe “was right” for buying the campervan, despite him making the huge purchase to “spite” her, after she scolded him for being “out of order”. He went to Birmingham to pick up the motorhome after Stacey said the family could go camping if he organised a camper van.

The new van comes complete with a bunk bed, small dining area and an extra bed above the driver’s seat, as well as a microwave, a wardrobe and plenty of storage. Before they headed to Scotland, Stacey had said of Joe: “He’s so happy with himself. Honestly, it will be an adventure and I’m excited for the kids but omg I’m genuinely scared.”
