All the ways Stacey Solomon hid her pregnancy from Insta trick to Christmas cover up on This Morning
STACEY Solomon is pregnant with her fifth baby – and has used a series of savvy hacks to keep her happy news a secret for so long.
The Loose Women panelist, 33, revealed she was expecting her fifth baby in an emotional Instagram post on Wednesday.
Stacey shared a video of her in the bathroom with her pregnancy test.
The TV star shouts for husband Joe Swash, telling him: “Come in!”
As she waves the test in his direction he gasps and says: “What are you holding? You’re joking.”
His wife says “no” as Joe collapses to the floor and gives her a hug.
Yet now the secret is out – how did Stacey hide her news for so long?
Clever Instagram angles
Stacey has managed to hide her baby bump with a variety of clever Instagram angles.
On her annual Christmas card picture, she covered her tummy with her kids as they sat on a bench outside her stunning £1.2million Pickle Cottage home.
In her festive video, she captured her hand decorating their home rather than her full silhouette, while also filming segments posed behind a wooden sleigh.
On a snowy ride around her garden, she positioned herself behind Rose and Rex so as not to give the game away.
She has also shot herself from the neck up, focussing on her perfectly-applied make-up and hair instead of a full-length image.
TV choices
Stacey made sure to choose her garments carefully for a recent appearance on This Morning.
Thankfully for the star, it is the season to cover up.
So her snug blue wrap dress was perfect for her live TV thrifty crafting segment with Gino D’Acampo.
Stacey previously made a spooky pumpkin flower pot for Halloween but stood behind a wooden cabinet so as to disguise her figure.
Wise wardrobe
Baggy jumpers have been the garment of the day for the star, who has her own range for fast-fashion brand In The Style.
Her Instagram page has been littered with images of the former X Factor songstress wearing oversized knitwear, including a chunky white knit dress as she posed in the snow.
Stacey’s also been covering up with deliberately oversized shaket coats – a combination of a jacket and a shirt to hide her curves.
Meanwhile, an oversized grey sweatshirt on Christmas Day chimed with the special celebration’s cozy, snuggly vibe so as not to cause undue suspicion.
