Stacey Solomon gave herself a black eye while trying to build a chicken coop for her new ducklings, after revealing her plans to quit showbiz and be a housewife.

A cut could be seen in the middle of Stacey’s left eye, where part of the chicken coop had fallen off during construction.
“I thought, ‘If I don’t put it up right now, I won’t put it up until the weekend,'” he said. “And any normal person would say, ‘Okay, put it on the weekend, they won’t be in that chicken coop for six weeks,’ but my toxic trait is that if there’s something in front of me, I have to do it right away.
