Stacey Solomon reveals she has kept her sons’ foreskins as she shares decluttering tips on new show

Stacey Solomon has revealed she still has the foreskins of her sons after their circumcisions as babies. 

Speaking on her new BBC show, Sort Your Life Out, the 31-year-old presenter made the revelation as she spoke about her own hoarding habits.  

The mother-of-three quipped that she keeps some ‘random, gross stuff’ at her home, that would alarm visitors. 

The Loose Women panellist shares son Zachary, 13, with ex Dean Cox and Leighton, eight, with ex Aaron Barham and has 23-month-old Rex with fiancé Joe. 

Stacey – who is Jewish – explained: ‘There are things in my house that if we were like, “why don’t we come and do this over at mine?” they’d be like, “Stacey! How have you still got your son’s foreskin in a box?”

‘I keep some random, gross stuff because I cannot let it go, so I totally understand.’ 

Stacey also spoke about her hoarding habits on Loose Women last year, as she confessed: ‘I’ve got umbilical cords and all sorts. I’m pretty sure I’ve got a foreskin somewhere.’   

Male circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin – a retractable fold of skin that covers the end of the penis.

The procedure can be carried out for medical reasons and is also a common practice in Jewish, Islamic and many African communities.   

In 2018, the decluttering expert revealed that she regretted having her sons circumcised as a baby.

Appearing on Loose Women, she said she believed at the time that circumcision was in the best interests of her son because it would be ‘cleaner’. 

The former X Factor contestant made her remarks as the panelists discussed whether it was acceptable for parents to pierce their babies’ ears, before they themselves were old enough to have a say in it.   

Jane Moore said she only agrees with the practice if it is part of the parents’ culture, to which Stacey replied: ‘When my son was circumcised I had that exact discussion with everybody who thought there was something wrong with it. 

‘It was part of my culture, it was something that I was told was better for the child, cleaner… but as I’ve got older [I’ve realised] my cultural views don’t make it different to what it actually is.’

Stacey – who welcomed her first child aged 19 – continued: ‘I actually started feeling guilty about what I’d done and whether it was the right thing to do, but there’s nothing I can do about it now.

‘At the time I believed absolutely it was in my child’s best interests and was done with the best heart. It’s funny how we can excuse certain things because of cultural reasons.’

Last year, Stacey spoke about raising children to learn about their Jewish faith as she shared pictures celebrating Hanukkah.  

Stacey explained on Instagram: ‘My mum’s family are Christian (my granddad was a vicar) and my dad’s family are Jewish, so we were raised learning about both.’

It appeared she is teaching her own children to respect both holidays – as the pair were then visited by Santa Claus. 

Stacey’s revelations came after the regular ITV fixture was poached by the BBC to front a new series, Sort Your Life Out.

The home improvement show sees Stacey help six families de-clutter their houses and overhaul their organisational skills.

The six-part series will follow a different family each week, as they take on the challenge. 

Home organiser Dilly Carter, carpenter and up-cycler Robert Bent and cleaning expert Iwan Carrington also feature on the show.

The show sees families stripping their homes bare and putting everything they own in a giant warehouse.

They are tasked with sorting through it all, encouraged to dispose of most of the possessions, leading to tension, emotion and tears.

Stacey wowed her four million social media followers over lockdown with her tips for up-cycling, organising, cleaning and de-cluttering – culminating in a book, Tap To Tidy, and now this new BBC gig.
