Pregnant Stacey Solomon drops 'subtle hint about the gender of her baby'

Stacey Solomon seems to have revealed a subtle hint about the gender of her unborn baby.

The Loose Women star, 33, broke the news that she and her husband Joe Swash were expecting baby number five after not realising they were pregnant.

Wearing a pink tracksuit, which revealed her blossoming baby bump, she asked fans for help with name suggestions as they prepare to welcome the new edition to the family.

She was asked by a fan: "Baby names shortlist/gender reveal?" who then left a load of pink hearts with crossed fingers - suggesting the person was hoping Stacey would have another girl.

"Any name suggestions welcome. Joe likes old fashioned names, I'm floral or Hebrew. Send help," she wrote with a laughing-crying emoji.

"Send help! We've got literally no names. We've had so many kids we've run out of names. Joe likes Betty... or Arthur. I don't know though, I really don't know.'

When she was asked if she would like another homebirth, she wrote: "I would LOVE to have another homebirth. I honestly loved giving birth to rose at home. I have a home birth assessment coming up so hopefully all is ok and I can give it a go at home again."

The presenter, who is eight months pregnant, was also asked why she had taken such a long time to reveal the exciting news.

"We really wanted it to ourselves for the beginning bit, but we missed the beginning bit if that makes sense.

"We didn't have to keep it a secret for 8 months because we didn't know for 8 months."

Sharing further details with fans, she explained: "My periods were irregular from breastfeeding, we were planning a wedding then getting married, and then just crazy life and honestly it didn't register."

Stacey captured the moment she and Joe realised they were having a third child together for her 5.4million followers on Instagram.

She filmed as she called Joe into the bathroom to reveal a positive pregnancy test - leaving him visibly emotional.

Stacey said that it was a "huge surprise", but that she was delighted to be welcoming "another little pickle", which is the cute nickname she gives her children.
