Stacey Solomon revealed the joyous news on Wednesday that she and husband Joe Swash were expecting a new addition to their family. The Loose Women panellist, 33, shared an adorable video showing the moment she told former EastEnders star Joe that she was pregnant, holding out a positive test to show him.
Writing "Me + Him =" followed by six emojis to represent their children, Stacey said the pregnancy had come as a "huge surprise" to the couple, who tied the knot in July at their fairytale family home in Essex.
Stacey, who sweetly refers to her children as her 'pickles', wrote: "So grateful & can not believe I’m saying this… Another little pickle is on the way… A HUGE surprise, but one that we are so thankful for to the moon & back bub."

In the video Stacey told Joe, who has two children Rex, two, and one-year-old Rose, with Stacey and a teenage son Harry from a previous relationship, to come into their bathroom and was asked "what you holding?" as Joe clocked the test.
"You're joking!" he exclaimed as he saw the result and told Stacey: "This is the best news bubba." Stacey, who also has older sons Zach and Leighton, has since given an update on her social media to say their baby is due "much sooner" than they thought. They are set to welcome their new 'pickle' as soon as next month.
"Coming soon… Much sooner than we thought 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 So this time next month we will be getting ready to say hello to a whole new pickle," wrote Stacey as she shared stunning photos of herself showing her gorgeous baby bump in a Calvin Klein bralet and jeans.
"So grateful," she added. "While we had some time off we thought we better take some memories before it’s too late @chelseawhitephotog who took our wedding pictures took these photos for us And my best friend & make up queen @peneloperyanbeauty gave me a makeover Happy Friday Everyone."
And in an Instagram video, as she thanked fans for their support she said into the camera: "I'm just trying to spend as much time as I can with this lot. We found out way later than we would usually. We're really excited with what's to come."
