Rylan Clark had fans giggling as he made a shock request to Stacey Solomon as she announced she was pregnant with her fifth child. And yes, he was just joking.
Loose Women star Stacey delighted fans on Wednesday evening (December 28) when she revealed that she and her husband Joe Swash were expecting again. The 33-year-old, who celebrated her daughter's first birthday in October, posted a heart-warming video on her Instagram page to reveal the happy news.
In the video, Stacey could be seen telling former EastEnders star Joe to enter the bathroom as she held out the pregnancy test to show him the results. "What you holding?" the former EastEnders star asks with a big grin. "You're joking!" he exclaims as he clocks the result before embracing Stacey and telling her: "This is the best news bubba."

The couple, who tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in the garden of their family home, share two children, three-year-old son Rex and 14-month-old daughter Rose, while Stacey is also mum to sons Zachary and Leighton and Joe who is dad to teenage son Harry from previous relationships.
Alongside the video, Stacey typed: "Me + Him =" followed by six emojis to represent their children. She went on: "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."
After sharing their announcement, Stacey was flooded with congratulatory messages but it was TV and radio star Rylan who got fans laughing with his comment. He said: "Can I buy this one please xxx CONGRATS you lovely pair xxxx."
The reply was quickly flooded with crying laughing emojis as other fans started to comment. @graceprybill said: "@rylan buy me if you want xox." @the.metoo.therapist joked: "@rylan with 3 under 5s you might get the baby for free if youre patient enough." @joeannie_kelly_ added: "@rylan you would make a fantastic daddy!!!!!"
It comes after Rylan was forced to deny being with 'someone else' after posting a confusing snap on social media. The BBC Radio 2 host has been enjoying some time off work over the festive season. And as he relaxed on his sofa on Tuesday evening (December 27) with a blanket and a chocolate bar resting on his leg, fans assumed the telly favourite was also enjoying his evening with a secret other.
The suspicion comes more than a year after Rylan, 34, confirmed he had split from his husband Dan Neal after six years. "That's me sorrrted," he typed alongside the cryptic image. But as he sparked confusion with his snap, Rylan returned to his Instagram Stories with an explanation as he laughed off claims he'd got himself a new love interest.
"I’m eating chocolate and it’s resting on my leg. Not a chocolate ice pack," he started his follow-up post. The Strictly: It Takes Two host then added along with laughing emojis: "Not someone else’s leg. Sadly."
