The van comes complete with a bunk bed, a small dinette and an additional bed above the driver’s seat, plus a microwave, closet and plenty of storage space.
Meanwhile, it’s been a successful September for the star who was left speechless after winning the top award of the night at the National Television Awards last week.
The presenter sprang the first surprise at the start of the ceremony when Sort Your Life Out beat fan favourite Jeremy Clarkson to win the Factual Entertainment award.
The star looked visibly shocked when the name of her show was mentioned before sweetly hugging her son Zach, 16, before jumping for joy.
Struggling to contain her excitement, Stacey gushed: “It’s the hardest show to make and they work so, so hard. My amazing co-presenters.”
“I’m so grateful to be able to do a show like this. I want to thank the families who let us into their homes. If it weren’t for the families, who opened their hearts to us, there would be no Sort Your Life Out.”
