ITV Loose Women's Stacey Solomon 'feels weird' as family update surprises fans

Stacey Solomon surprised fans as she shared a family update.

The Loose Women panelist regularly shares updates from her happy life at Pickle Cottage with her 5.7m Instagram followers. The 33-year-old is the proud mum of Leighton, Zachary, Rex, Rose and Belle.

Stacey conducted a question and answer session with fans as she travelled to Scotland to film a new episode of BBC's Sort Your Life Out. The mum-of-five enjoys a close relationship with her sister, Jemma, and posts regular update with her on social media.

However, fans in the Q&A were surprised Stacey has another sister named Samantha. Stacey said: "Loads of you have been asking 'oh my God, I didn't realise you had another sister, where have you been hiding her?'.

"She is actually my step sister but I never call her that. We grew up together. Altogether there's seven of us - one step sister, two step brothers, my brother and sister, and then I have a half-brother. I would never call them my steps - that feels weird.

"We grew up brothers and sisters. You may have seen her before on my story - but years ago. She is so funny."

Stacey is married to Joe Swash and the former EastEnders star confirmed the couple have plans to grow even bigger. Joe has fronted a documentary on children's social care and said he one day hopes to foster in the future.

He said: "When the kids are old enough, we’ll think about fostering. We love kids and Stacey is on the same page as me."
