What is Stacey Solomon’s TV show, Sort Your Life Out?

Sort Your Life Out sees Stacey alongside a team of experts helping families fix up their cluttered homes. Stacey and the team, consisting of organisers, cleaners and DIY-experts seek to sort out the homes of those whose clutter has begun to impact their lives.

Stacey, who has landed a massive social media following for her incredible crafts, upcycling and unique ideas, fronts the BBC series where she 'coaches' six families to declutter their homes.

The pilot episode saw Stacey and her team lay the entire contents of a family’s home out, forcing them to decide what to keep and what to lose.

The Loose Women star is joined by home improvement experts Robert Bent, Dilly Carter and Iwan Carrington, as the six chosen families move their possessions into a warehouse as they attempt to donate, recycle and sell items.

Just like she does in her book Tap To Tidy, the show also sees Stacey sharing some tips to viewers at home.

Speaking about the show, Stacey previously said: “There’s nothing that brings me more joy than decluttering my home, so it was amazing to share my tips and tricks with wonderful families in the first series of Sort Your Life Out. Letting go of belongings can be a really vulnerable, challenging and emotional experience. I feel lucky to help people through the process and sort out their homes for the better. I can’t wait to be reunited with my dream team Dilly, Robert and Iwan for more incredible transformations.”

BBC Commissioning Editor, Beejal-Maya Patel, said: “Sort Your Life Out is perfect television. These heart-warming stories of families overwhelmed by possessions and reluctant to let go of the past, is something we can all relate to.

“Stacey, Dilly, Rob and Iwan do such a sensational job of not only revamping the house, but of transforming the families lives for the long-term. I’m thrilled we’ll get to see it return for a second series.”
