Stacey Solomon received a special Christmas present from Joe Swash, but she thinks he definitely had an ulterior motive.

The Loose Women star shared a series of sun soaked snaps in a stunning red Baywatch style bikini, and he’s certainly been enjoying the view during their sun soaked winter break.

Stacey – who has shrugged off criticism of her lavish trip – shared a series of snaps on Instagram and admitted her husband couldn’t stop taking photos of his wife in her new outfit.

‘A moment on the grid for “my” Christmas present from Joe 😂 *cough* from Joe to Joe 😂 My new bikini 😂 Pretty sure he bought this from a costume shop in a Baywatch packet 😂 But I actually like it 😂,’ she laughed.

‘Not my usual choice of swim wear. But i can honestly say I’ve never felt so attended to since we got here 😂 It’s working wonders with beach drinks 😂 And this is an on-site as to what joes camera roll looks like right now 😂

‘He’s spent his day enjoying his present to me 😂 Anyway it is the “F**k it” year so posting these because, Well because f**k it why not 😂 Happy Thursday Everyone 🖤’

Stacey also shared an inspiration message to her followers, urging them to take her example and ‘wear the bikini’.

‘And just a little note to say… wear the bikini. Your body deserve to wear whatever you put it in. As long as it makes you happy who cares,’ she continued. ‘Plus you might find yourself getting ALL the drinks down on the beach 😂 📸 ©️ @realjoeswashy 😂’

Before she posted the photos, Joe told Stacey to ‘stop teasing’ her followers she shared a video of them giggling in the bathroom while she hid her body – and the new bikini – behind a towel.

‘So Joe bought “me” a Christmas present, which is a new bikini. He definitely bought it for himself. It looks like you’ve robbed Pamela Anderson’s wardrobe,’ she laughed.

Ever the supportive husband, he told her to ‘show everyone’ as she kept glancing behind the towel and adjusting her outfit.

‘All I’ll say is, he’ll be lucky if this bikini hasn’t been swallowed whole,’ she quipped, while he joked: ‘It cost me 15 quid, and she’s got five quid up her bum!’

In another Instagram Story, she said that ‘being half naked has its perks’, as Joe admitted his ‘present backfired’ as his wife was getting all the attention while he couldn’t get served for a drink.

‘Joe is slowly regretting his life choices, because guess who’s getting served all the drinks today? He can’t get anyone to even look at him,’ she said. ‘I’m starting to like this present.’
