She wrote: ‘Wedding hair done. It feels so lovely to be back to me and my (not so natural but natural) for our special day.
‘As much as I love changing to fun bright colours I didn’t want anything crazy for the wedding and just want to feel as me as possible. I love it so much. Not long to go.’
On Instagram this weekend, Stacey explained that herself and Joe will be legally registering their marriage later, after deciding to get wed at their home, which isn’t a place with a ‘civil ceremony’ licence.
She said: ‘As this is our private family home, and we need it to remain that way we couldn’t go for that option.
‘So, we are having a relaxed private blessing in front of our closest friends and family and a ceremony of our love to each other and we will register our marriage legally afterwards.’
The former I’m A Celeb winner signed off from her social media in the hours leading up to her wedding day and was emotional ahead of her nuptials.

‘So, I’m going to say goodbye to my phone for a few days and make sure I take in every moment. The setup, the getting ready, the day, and the aftermath.
‘I love you all lots and lots and lots. Thank you for your kindness always. Lots and lots of love from Joe, Harry, Zachery, Leighton, Rex, and Rose.
