Stacey Solomon has responded to online trolls who criticised her just weeks after she gave birth.
The Loose Women star welcomed the birth of her daughter Belle just two weeks ago, and treated herself to a manicure - which she showcased on Instagram. The mum-of-five, 33, has been updating her followers with her parenting journey since having Belle.
In her Instagram Stories she posted a picture of her gleaming new nails after enjoying some pampering. Stacey shared a photo of her pretty manicure, showing her long oval-shaped nails decorated with delicate white flowers and white tips, and said she decided to have them done rather than washing her hair.

She said: "Probably should have washed my hair but I've been desperate to have nice nails and just drive somewhere. It feels so good."
But she later returned to say not everyone had been supportive, reports the MEN. One follower messaged her to grumble: "Very impractical nails for a new born."
Stacey saw the funny side as she shared the message and typed in response: "Have a day off Wilma, it'll be ok I promise." Stacey added a crying-laughing emoji and a covering eyes emoji to her reply.
The TV favourite was still chuckling as she posted a video message. "I think they're really practical," she said about her nails. "They're great for tickles, head strokes. Belle's absolutely loving them."
And she burst out laughing as she raised her little finger and said: "This one's really good for picking at bogies. It's the perfect shape." Stacey asked: "Will I end up with poo underneath them at the end of every day? Probably, but I've got a nail brush, I wash my hands. It'll be fine."
Earlier Stacey also posted an adorable video of her older daughter Rose, who she welcomed with former EastEnders actor Joe in October 2021, stroking her little sister's head. Stacey also has a son Rex, three, with Joe and older sons Zach, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships while Joe also has 15-year-old son Harry with his ex, Emma Sophocleous.
Last week she posted a new picture of her new baby and said: "Oh Hello Beautiful Belle The most special two weeks of you Belle… Today all the boys went back to school & Belle had lots of awake time. "I think she was wondering where all the noise and craziness had gone i felt like I got some time to properly see her & talk to her today. I love these days when they start to open their eyes more & really look around and begin to show you little bits of who they are and the adventures to come."
