Stacey Solomon gives sweary honest response to quizzing on motherhood before being left 'gutted' with fans

Stacey Solomon didn't hold back when she was quizzed on how she is managing to juggle three children under three following the birth of her fifth child. The Loose Women star and her husband Joe Swash were full of delight when they announced the arrival of their third child together, a baby girl, who they have named Belle.

The loved-up couple, who wed in a stunning intimate ceremony in the garden of their family home, dubbed Pickle Cottage, back in July, surprised fans before Christmas when they announced they were preparing to welcome another pickle, Stacey's nickname for her children, into the world.

And they were even more surprised when Stacey shared her first bump snaps and confirmed she was already eight months pregnant. Little Belle was then born on February 7 with the 33-year-old saying their baby girl "literally flew" into the world as she gave birth at home.

Since then, Stacey has been giving updates on her new life as a mother-of-five, as she dotes on Belle, one-year-old Rose, Rex, three, with Joe as well as her older sons Leighton and Zachary from her previous relationships. Joe is also a proud dad to teenage son, Harry, who he shares with ex-fiancee Emma Sophocleous.

Appearing on Instagram on Wednesday evening (March 8), Stacey shared e a screenshot of a message she received from a mum-of-three asking her how she keeps it together. They said they too had a six-week-old daughter and was 'soaking up' the precious time but is also juggling a nine-year-old and a 15-month-old.

Sort Your Life Out host Stacey replied via an Instagram Story video, saying: "Public service announcement for anyone who's ever felt like ‘oh my gosh, it looks like they’ve got their sh*t together and I really haven’t’, please don’t feel like that. You’re doing an incredible job."

She added: "I know it looks like I’ve gone straight back to normal as if I never gave birth – it feels like that, if I’m honest – but it’s only because the whole sleep when she sleeps, make sure you take time to rest and recover, don’t do anything too quickly goes all out the window when you have a one-year-old.

"It’s incredible this age gap: three, one and zero, I’m so grateful to have three young babies that I can raise together and can grow up together. I’m honestly so grateful. But I can assure you that 100% of the time, I feel absolutely f***ed." She then went on to laugh: "You're not alone."

Stacey then wrote alongside the clip: "Just a PSA that you’re doing amazing. Rest up if you can. You deserve it. And never forget that although it seems I'm doing lots with 3 babies at 3, 1 & 1 month. I'm so grateful to be raising them all together BUT just know 100% of the time I feel f**ked," and added a crying laughing emoji.

The former X Factor finalist then also shared in fans' feelings after they were left 'gutted' by the end of her BBC series Sort Your Life Out. The series sees Stacey 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.

Ahead of the latest episode on Wednesday night, the BBC announcer said: "It's The Apprentice here at this time tomorrow and I guarantee it will be a dog's dinner. Unmissable. But, now someone we'll really miss, with the last Sort Your Life Out of the series, it's Stacey."

Following the news, one viewer tweeted: "I’m not ready to say goodbye to #SortYourLifeOut but I’m so glad there’s a third series. Thank you @StaceySolomon and the brilliant SYLO team. You are all joyous!" Another said: "Can’t believe it’s the last #SortYourLifeOut #sylo love this programme. Going to miss you @_mrcarrington @StaceySolomon Dilly and Rob"

And taking to Instagram as she cosied up with baby Belle following the episode airing, Stacey wrote: "Thank you for your lovely @sortyourlifeout messages! I'm gutted it was the last one too but we will be back soon. Love you all."
