In Channel 5’s Spray Tan Mums: Single and Proud, Steph reveals that she plans to set up the unusual business because it would cost her more to get a traditional job.

She explains: “When I work I have to be self-employed because a single mum with three kids working full time – it costs me more money to put them in the after school club and the breakfast club.

“I just want to sort myself out now, look after myself, pay my own bills. I’m just looking to my future and that’s all I can do every day.”

The former X Factor contestant was forced to give up her dreams of becoming a singer when she fell pregnant with her oldest child Taylor, now 13.

In a hope to support her kids she cooks up the idea of a salon with a difference, combining her passion for meditation with her skills for styling.

She can be seen cleansing her aura with lit sage as she explains “I’ve been doing the meditation and that now for over a year and I feel like I’m a different person it’s really calmed me down.

“I used to ask myself why is there always murder in my life why us there always drama and I realised that I was creating that drama in my life by reacting to it.”

Stephanie says that she is nonplussed about what others might think of her situation.

“I honestly couldn’t care less what anyone thinks about me being a single mum” she says.

“It’s no one else’s business. I don’t pay my bills with opinions.”

But aware that she does have to somehow pay her bills she sets about decorating her spare room, roping in friends to give it a makeover.

Speaking of her decision to work from home she adds: “When you’re working for other people they don’t care do they? They just want to pay you the least they possibly can to line their pockets.

“In reality it’s impossible to get a job a full time job when you’re a single mum, if you haven’t got family and friends who are going to babysit or whatever.”
