Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are struggling to come up with names for their unborn child.
The TV stars sent everyone into meltdown ahead of the New Year, as they announced they were expecting once more, admitting it was a ‘huge surprise’ for them too.
And Stacey, 33, later revealed she is actually much further along in her pregnancy than fans first assumed – and she’s due this month!
However, as her due date nears and Stacey and Joe, 44, brainstorm name ideas, the couple are struggling after already having ‘so many kids.’
The couple are already parents to Rose, 14 months, and Rex, three, while Stacey has sons Leighton, 10, with her ex-partner Aaron Barham and Zachary, 14, with Dean Cox.
Blending their families, Joe is also a father to son Harry, 15, who he shares with Emma Sophocleous, his ex-fiancée.

Answering fans’ questions on her Instagram Story, Stacey began: ‘We’ve got no names. Like, literally, nothing. We’ve had so many kids, we’ve run out of names!’
‘You like really old ones, don’t you?’, Stacey said to her husband in the background, to which he agreed.
‘Joe likes old fashioned names, like Betty or Arthur. I like flower names or Hebrew names… I don’t know though. I really don’t know!’

Stacey also clarified that she and Joe have known about the pregnancy for a while, despite people believing she had only found out shortly before announcing that she was eight months along.
‘I’m so confused how you didn’t know for eight months, your bump isn’t exactly small!’, one fan wrote on her Instagram.
The former X Factor star responded: ‘I must be saying it wrong. We didn’t just find out like, three days ago. Had a look down and was like, ooh, that’s not my usual evening bloat, what’s going on?’, Stacey laughed.

‘When we did find out, it was past the point that people would usually tell people and everyone would know, and we were just like, oh we’ve just found out, we can’t tell everyone yet!’
The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner shared that she and Joe wanted to keep the news for themselves for a while, since they didn’t get to do that at the very start.
She added the news came as a shock since her periods were irregular due to breastfeeding Rose, they were also planning their wedding last year, and life was ‘crazy busy.’

The Loose Women panelist confessed it ‘didn’t even register’ that she could be pregnant.
Stacey – who had a home birth with youngest child Rose – was also quizzed on her plans for a second home birth.
