Stacey Solomon announced last month that she was eight months pregnant with her fifth child, so she found it hilarious when a fan suggested she enjoy some private time with husband Joe Swash to help things along. The Loose Women panellist took to Instagram to ask for suggestion after finding themselves "kid free" for the day on Saturday (January 21).
Posting a picture of the couple beaming side by side, she laughed: "We look like competition winners. Mum and dad off out kid free. Well almost."
She asked: "We actually have no idea where to go to. We are getting in the car and hoping for the best. What do people do on a Saturday afternoon with no kids?"

As her followers rushed to give ideas including the cinema and a trip to Ikea, one thought they should take the time to get intimate. "Have some sexy time to get baby moving," they messaged.
Stacey, 33, was wide-eyed with amazement and couldn't help laughing as she replied with a jokey video, saying that was also Joe's suggestion but she was having none of it at the moment. And the heavily pregnant star wrote: "Omg please can someone tell me how this isn't an actual physical impossibility?" She added: "How to people do this ... I can't even put my own socks on."
The Sort Your Life Out host has previously shared how she is rushing to finish all her work commitments before she gives birth due to her not wanting to 'let anyone down'. Stacey, who is expecting her third child with former EastEnders actor Joe, 41, said in a frank post on her Instagram Story on Monday January 16: "I'm just trying to like finish all my commitments and make sure I don't let anyone down before this baby falls out of my vagina."
Stacey added: "I keep saying before I push it out but I feel like I'm just going to cough it's just going to fall out. You know when you're at that point where it just feels like it's hanging out and I'm sucking it in to try and finish everything and get things done. Hopefully, it doesn't just sneeze out."
The couple announced the latest addition to their family on December 28. They are proud parents to Rex, three, and one-year-old Rose. Stacey also has older sons Zach, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships while Joe also has 15-year-old son Harry with his ex, Emma Sophocleous.
In a stunning post on December 30, as they showcased Stacey's blossoming bump, she wrote: "Coming soon… Much sooner than we thought."
Stacey, who affectionately calls her children her 'pickles', explained: "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 sso this time next month we will be getting ready to say hello to a whole new pickle. So grateful."
Stacey previously said to fans baffled by the news that she was eight months pregnant: "I must be saying it wrong. I mean, we didn't just find out three days ago when I looked down and was like 'oh, that's not my usual evening bloat. What's going on?' But when we did find out it was past the point people would usually tell people."
