It comes as Stacey reveals the whimsical Christmas spirit that has stuck with her every year since she was a child, despite her entire family refusing to take part.
And this year was no different for her when it comes to a holiday ritual: eating half a grapefruit sprinkled with sugar for breakfast.
In a video about her Christmas likes and dislikes posted to Loose Women's TikTok channel, she explained: “That sounds really strange… my mother used to cut a grapefruit in half every Christmas morning, put some sugar on it and so on. “ was our breakfast.
“None of my kids will eat it, Joe won't eat it, it's not even that great, but I just have to eat it every Christmas.” “I don't eat grapefruit all year long, but on Christmas morning I sit with half a grapefruit and sugar there and really enjoy it.”
They were joined on the trip by 20 family members, who Stacey explained she never thought she would be able to do.
