Stacey Solomon has announced she has given birth to her fifth child. The Loose Women star, 33, who is married to husband Joe Swash, 40, revealed on Instagram she had welcomed a newborn baby girl.
"She’s here," said Stacey, who said she had given birth at her home, Pickle Cottage. "Our beautiful, daughter born at home with all of your brothers and sister ready to snuggle you forever and ever.
"You literally flew into our world and none of us can quite believe your thick dark head of hair that we just can’t get over. We can’t believe you're here. Welcome to the world beautiful girl, thank you for the last few months in my tummy, we can’t wait to love you forever and ever we are so grateful we get to be your family."
On Tuesday Stacey told her Instagram followers she thought the birth was near, posting a final photo of her bump. And on Saturday she suggested the birth was more imminent than she'd expected, saying: "To my little family on here. I didn't realise I wasn't quite prepared for the quick whirlwind that occurred right after I took this picture."

Stacey and Joe have yet to reveal their daughter's name, The Mirror reports. Along with the new arrival, Stacey is a mum to one-year-old daughter Rose and son Rex, three, who she shares with Joe, and sons Zachary, 14, and Leighton, ten, from relationships before she met the EastEnders star.
Joe is also dad to his son, Harry. The couple revealed they were expecting their fifth baby in December, three months after their wedding at Pickle Cottage in July.
