A few weeks back, Loose Women stars Stacey Solomon, Linda Robson and Nadia Sawalha made a pact that they weren’t going to shave their legs until December.
Well, it’s December now, and that meant it was time for the ladies to show off the results of their razor ban on today’s show.
Linda and Nadia were forced to concede that, due to their age, they hadn’t been able to cultivate much fur. But Stacey was desperate to reveal what she’d achieved: legs, armpits, the lot (almost).
And it’s safe to say that many viewers were horrified at what they witnessed.
The former X Factor star, 28, began by lifting her arms to show off her pits, claiming that they aren’t “that bad” (although the other women weren’t so sure).
Then, it was time for the Essex girl to expose her legs. Now, we’ve had a few sightings of Stacey’s limbs along her stubble-growing journey.
A few days back, she told the story of how she’d paid a surprise visit to her boyfriend, I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp presenter Joe Swash, in Australia, but had forgotten to tell him about her unshaved limbs.
On that occasion, she revealed a picture that the couple had taken, in which they’d compared hairy legs – and their pins looked almost the same!

Stacey has also been updating her fans online, by showing off glimpses of leg at every opportunity.
But that didn’t stop her being all excited as she came round from her desk for the big reveal.
And there was good reason for her eagerness. She beamed: “I did actually vajazzle my hairs, because I got so excited!”
Sure enough, as the camera zoomed in on her legs, we could see the multi-coloured fur.

But Stacey conceded that not everyone had been impressed by her work. She told the other ladies: “I’ve had comments from horrified people, like: ‘My god, woman, shave your legs.'”
And the remarks from viewers at home weren’t much better. After Stacey’s display, one gagged: “Good god. No, I do not want to see your hairy bits, thank you.”
Another said: “I like Stacey Solomon but the hairy pits and legs is just too far.”
And a third simply commented: “Those legs are repulsive.”
But not everyone was up in arms. One fan beamed: “Good on @StaceySolomon for showing off her hair!!”
And another added: “Reading tweets of people being angry and offended by @StaceySolomon’s body hair is just ridiculous. It’s a bit of hair – get over it.”
