Stacey, 35 – who had spoken about visiting her brother overseas recently – captured their antics in two separate Instagram grid posts.
The opening snap saw her donning a black and white check Houndstooth print ski suit while standing with ex EastEnders actor Joe in his multicoloured one-piece and their clan.
Stacey’s two eldest sons Zachary, 16 and Leighton, 12 – from former relationships – showcased huge smiles as they posed in their ski boots while the pair’s trio Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, two, looked elated to be in the snow.
The Loose Women star then captured a few solo shots, as well as her and Joe with their daughters before the bunch were spotted clad in skis at the top of a mountain.
She was then seen flashing a peace sign on the mountain before cuddling up with Joe on their chalet balcony.
Another series of snaps showed the lovebirds posing on the bridge at the top of a glacier.
In her lengthy caption, the mum of five joked: “The family who ski together – probably won’t talk to each other for a few weeks now. I’m joking (but not.)
“It’s been the most special, tiring, adrenaline pumping, crazy week.
“I can honestly say everyone is exhausted but the BEST memories have been made. So grateful to have been able to take my pickles skiing.
“And seeing my brother has been so lovely. I miss him so so much since he moved here.
“I’m so proud of the kids & how they powered through & became so so confident on the slopes. What a special week.
“Time to go home now & try to rest up before school on Monday.
“P.S I ended up loving Joe’s suit more than he did. I could see him a mile off which I LOVED! but he was too shy to wear it.”
Stacey Solomon’s career so far
Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers’ screens for over a decade. Let’s take a look back at her career.
The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the ‘Girls’ category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs.
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I’m A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I’m A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash – who’d won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff.
Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019.
Loose Women (2016 – present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012.
Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants’ living spaces after removing clutter.
Her comments came after Stacey addressed Joe’s daring ski attire in a recent video, filmed in her Barbie pink laundry room as she tackled her household chores.
She told her followers: “I’m starting to pack up our cases to see my brother in Switzerland.
“And while we are there we are going to ski, because obviously there is snow there.
“And this is the ski suit my husband has chosen to take with him – this,” before pointing out a brightly-coloured ski suit lying on the floor.
FAMILY AFFAIR
Meanwhile, Stacey’s words about her brother came after her “secret” siblings were revealed.
One of her brothers was pictured in her skiing snap, yet on her Instagram Stories she told fans: “Loads of you asking where my brother is.
“He’s this guy but he’s super shy so will never show his full face in a pic.”
While Stacey often showcases elder sister Jemma, dubbed The Label Lady, on her social media – she has a wider family who prefer a quiet life.
These include brothers Matthew, who created a tattoo for the star but is rarely seen on social media, and half-brother Josh, 18.
As well as her brothers, she has eldest sister Samantha Stone, who works as a PT.
She previously stunned fans as she shared a snap of the pair working out together.
