Stacey Solomon is known for being quite active on social media so with the star being heavily pregnant, her silence on Instagram often triggers suspicion that she has gone into labour and welcomed her fifth child into the world.
However, the Loose Women star has squashed the latest rumours by sharing a candid snap to her Instagram Story ahead of having a viewing party with her family as she returned to TV screens. Stacey was back on BBC One on Wednesday night (January 25) with a new series of Sort Your Life out.
The show sees the 33-year-old, who announced she was eight months pregnant days after Christmas with her and her husband Joe Swash's third child together, travel across the country with her team - made up of organiser Dilly Carter, carpenter Rob Bent and cleaner Iwan Carrington - to help different families transform their homes by getting rid of stuff they no longer need and helping them save space and money.

The first episode of the new series, which was filmed last year, saw Stacey helping childhood sweethearts Dan and Char and their two daughters, Mia and Cece, transform their family home through a life-changing declutter. And fans were quickly flocking to social media to comment on Stacey and the show.
@ShaneRooD15 tweeted: "#StaceySolomon is a joy to watch on #sortyourlifeout she brings much needed energy to January." @lauraewelsh said: "I absolutely LOVE #sortyourlifeout with Stacey Solomon. Utter joyous telly." @fluffmitten shared: "I bloody love Stacey Solomon - she's practical, kind and understands the reality of how ordinary people struggle #SortYourLifeOut."
@leehotmess commented: "What I like about this show is that it's people who actually need a hand. Not, 'Here's how much you would have saved if you stopped buying Gucci bags and changed to a cheaper coffee.' Plus @StaceySolomon is so lovely. #SortYourLifeOut." Journalist @suzanne_moore also added: "Stacey Solomon for PM. I am not even joking."
And Stacey was clearly bowled over by the response as she tweeted: "Thank you for all of you lovely messages about the first new episode of #SortYourLifeOut I absolutely LOVE making he show & genuinely enjoy the process & fall in love with each & every family we meet. So it means a lot to see all of your kind, positive words about the show."
She also appeared in a video on her Instagram Story as she spoke to the camera, saying: "I genuinely love making Sort Your Life Out. I actually love doing it. It's one of the hardest shows I've ever had to make because it's proper physical craft and it's a really intense week but I just fall in love with all the families, I love going through people's stuff, love sorting it all out and it's just something I am so passionate about."
She said it was the "nicest feeling ever" to see everyone's kind response to the show as she thanked her fans and followers. "It's made me want to get up tomorrow and sort my own life out to be honest," Stacey then laughed.
Earlier, Stacey had shared a picture of her in her pyjamas to show that she was still very much pregnant despite her period of silence on social media. She could be seen sporting her white floral nightwear as she sat upon the kitchen top at her stunning Essex home, dubbed 'Pickle Cottage'.
"Good evening love from me, aka Winnie The Pooh atm [at the moment]," she typed alongside the image with a crying laughing emoji. The former X Factor star added: "Still preggo [crying laughing face]. Just stuffing my face and festering in my pyjamas," while gripping onto a chocolate bar with a bag of marshmallows next to her.
It comes after Stacey shared how she was having to make a bit of a change ahead of giving birth. Posting a video of her making a smoothie, she wrote "On strict orders to keep my iron up... So vitamins and smoothies every day to make sure I can have a home birth." Last week, she shared how she had been given a stern warning from her midwife to 'calm the hell down' as she continued to rush around before her baby's arrival.
Fans were delighted to hear that Stacey and her husband Joe Swash were expanding their brood when she shared a sweet announcement video on Instagram 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.
