Stacey Solomon is already bracing herself for child birth after announcing she’s expecting another baby.
The Loose Women presenter shared the exciting news that she’s pregnant with her fifth child and her third with husband Joe Swash.
She dropped the bombshell in an Instagram post featuring a sweet video of her surprising former EastEnders actor Joe, 40, with the positive pregnancy test.
As she prepares to give birth for the fifth time, it’s understandable that Stacey, 33, is feeling a little concerned for what’s going to happen to her vagina during the labour.
In an update shortly after the announcement, the TV presenter said: ‘Your messages are so beautiful. I have sooooo much to catch up with you all…
‘I’m just trying to enjoy this crazy bit between Xmas and NY where no one knows what day it is with all the pickles…

‘Honestly you’re all so bloody sweet and kind and I can’t wait to come on here and tell you EVERYTHING.’
She then added in her Instagram stories: ‘I can’t believe we are having another baby! We are soooo excited. I’m nervous for my noon.
‘But so so excited.’
It’s not too long ago that Stacey welcomed her second child with Joe, who she married this summer, as their daughter Rose was born on the former X Factor star’s 32nd birthday in October 2021.

She also shares three-year-old son Rex with Joe, and has sons Zach, 14, and Leighton, 10, with former partners Dean Cox and Aaron Barnham respectively, while Joe has son Harry, 14, with former fiancee Emma Sophocleous.
Stacey was over the moon to share the news and told followers in her announcement: ‘Me + Him = 👦🏻👦🏼👦🏼🧒🏼👧🏼👶 So grateful & can not believe I’m saying this… Another little pickle is on the way… 😭 A HUGE surprise, but one that we are so thankful for 🥹 to the moon & back bub.’
A short video showed Stacey holding up the pregnancy test as Joe entered the bathroom.

‘Are you doing a poo?’ he hilariously asked before noticing the stick and adding: ‘What are you holding?’
Joe then fell to the floor and smiled with pure excitement while telling his wife: ‘You’re joking! This is the best news bubba.’
The couple have been flooded with congratulatory messages, with Rylan Clark joking: ‘Can I buy this one please xxx CONGRATS you lovely pair xxxx.’
