Stacey Solomon fans baffled as Loose Women co-stars seem ‘blindsided’ by baby news
STACEY Solomon fans are baffled after her Loose Women co-stars seem to be ‘blindsided’ by her baby news.
The 33-year-old announced she was expecting her fifth child earlier this week.
On Wednesday Stacey revealed that she is having another child with actor husband Joe Swash, 40.
The TV star shares Rex, three, and Rose, one, with the EastEnders legend, and is also mum to Leighton, 10, and Zachary, 14, from previous relationships.
Stacey has done a very good job at keeping her baby a secret from not only her fans, but also her colleagues.
The Loose Women gang seemed to have no idea of the exciting news.
Coleen, 57, took to Twitter to congratulate the pair.
“Another pickle already?! The Cottage is going to need an extension at this rate!
“But seriously, massive congratulations @StaceySolomon & @realjoeswash. Couldn’t be happier for you both.”
On Thursday’s episode of Loose Women fans were left scratching their heads when they failed to congratulate Stacey on teh news.
Coleen, Linda Robson, Denise Welch and Kelle Bryan took to the airwaves for the edition of the ITV Daytime panel show.
However Coleen has also revealed the very good reason they said nothing on the matter.
The singer explained that while Loose Women looked like they were being aired live with segments and interviews as normal, they were actually shot in advance.
She tweeted: “To everyone who’s tweeted in wondering why it wasn’t mentioned on today’s @loosewomen…
“It’s because the episodes between Christmas and New Years were pre-recorded.”
The star added: “No big secret, the pre-records were announced in the Christmas lineup!”
Yesterday Stacey revealed she is due to give birth next month – meaning she is already eight months pregnant.
As she showed off her bump for the first time last night, Stacey told her fans: “Coming soon… Much sooner than we thought
“When we found out we still wanted to have that first few months you usually would to adjust and get excited and enjoy it to ourselves, but that didn’t leave us with very long left
“So this time next month we will be getting ready to say hello to a whole new pickle So grateful
“While we had some time off we thought we better take some memories before it’s too late.”
