The star moved into the £1.2million historic pile with Joe Swash and her children, last year.


She has given the Essex property, which is set in more than two acres of land, a huge makeover.

However, speaking to the Guardian she said she that – like many Brits – she feared rising energy costs at Pickle Cottage.

Stacey said: "If our energy bill doubles, then it might well be beyond our means in the future.

"I’m not saying it is the same for us as someone on the breadline, ’cos it blooming well isn’t. But it’s such a scary time.
