Stacey Solomon’s brother-in-law is revealed as the mysterious Chris Hemsworth lookalike in her picture
STACEY Solomon’s brother-in-law has been revealed as the mysterious Chris Hemsworth lookalike in her picture – after fans were convinced he was the Thor.
A lookalike for the Hollywood hunk can be seen in the background of a photo of baby Rex, which Stacey’s boyfriend Joe Swash shared to his Instagram page over the weekend.
The snap shows the newborn grinning at the camera as he lays on 29-year-old Stacey’s chest, with the Loose Women star planting a kiss on his head.
However, Joe’s followers were more interested in what is going on behind the tender moment, with many noticing the attractive man sitting in an armchair.
The hunk was compared to Thor actor Chris Hemsworth.
One fan wrote: “Why does it look like Chris Hemsworth is in the background? I’d be smiling too.”
Another queried: “Is that Thor sat in your chair?”
Now we can reveal the mystery man in question is the husband of Stacey’s sister, Jemma.
And Jemma was clearly thrilled with the compliments, retweeting the Sun Online’s article and writing alongside it: “All I’m going to say is I clearly picked myself a winner! #hottyforahubby.”
Stacey also joked: “In all honesty I wanted to move Chris Hemsworth in much sooner but I thought it would be more polite to wait until Joe has gone away!”
Joe, 37, meanwhile shared his devastation at missing his son’s first smile, writing underneath the original picture: “How is my luck. I had to go away for work and Rex has his first smile, gutted.”
Stacey also posted the snap to her own Instagram page – cropping out her poor brother-in-law and claiming that it was her “new favourite picture” of her son!
