Stacey Solomon was left pleading 'send help' as she struggled with an 'impossible' task before calling her dad to the rescue. The Sort Your Life Out host appears to be planning ahead for an upcoming trip as she attempted to take baby Belle's first passport pics - but it didn't quite go to plan.
Stacey, 33, who is also mum to Rex, three, and one-year-old Rose with her husband Joe Swash and also has sons Zachary, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships, was able to laugh as she filmed her dilemma and posted it to her millions of followers on Instagram.
She shared a clip of her trying to get the three-week old to cooperate on the photo booth machine at the local Post Office. But underneath each image Stacey showed i said "may not be compliant" with the standards needed as Belle burst into tears in one and couldn't keep up straight in another.
Giggling over the top of the video, Stacey said: "Send help. I'm trying to get Belle's passport pictures done and it's not going well," as she showed the pictures she was dealing with. The mum-of-five also caotpioned the clip: "I’m actually full-on sweating in this booth. It’s IMPOSSIBLE. And we have her passport appointment tomorrow. Send help."
But luckily, Stacey has a photographer in the family and called her dad to her family home, dubbed Pickle Cottage, who appeared more than happy to get a few snaps of his baby granddaughter as Stacey took a photo of David, with professional camera around his neck, cooing over little Belle.
As he tried to settle the newborn, who was lying on the bed, Stacey wrote: "Thank goodness for Dave. I rang my dad in the end. I didn't want to take it at home because I thought it would be easier to do in the post office where they can check it. I was wrong."
It came just hours after Stacey said 'sorry' to her fifth child after sharing an adorable video of her with her older sister. The besotted Loose Women star took to her Instagram Stories with the new clip of Belle, who was born earlier this month, and 16-month-old Rose.
Little Belle was born on February 7 with Stacey announcing her birth days later. Announcing the bundle of joy's arrival on February 11, Stacey gave fans a little insight into the birth as she her and her husband Joe Swash's newborn "literally flew" into the world as she was born at the family's home, dubbed Pickle Cottage.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday (February 28), Stacey shared a video of Belle seemingly asleep on the bed in a crisp white babygrow. Alongside her was older sister, Rose, who was donning a matching pink and white pyjama set. The youngster was doting on her baby sister as she stroked her head before deciding to put a white rose clip into her hair - or on her head more specifically.
Rose, who was also born at the family's Essex home on Stacey's birthday in 2021, then decided that Belle required a napping partner as she gently started to lay down and rest her head on top of her baby sister's. "Aw, what are you doing?" Stacey could be heard asking before Rose told her 'clip'.
The Sort Your Life Out host then cooed over her daughter's resting together as she was heard laughing before asking: "Is that nice cuddles?" Typing alongside the sweet video, Stacey said: "Sorry Belle but you'll be wearing hair clips whether you want them or not," alongside a crying laughing emoji.
"Also, I think sleeping Belle makes Rose sleepy. She just wants to literally lay on top of her and not move [crying laughing and tearing up emoji]. I'm making the most of this before they become teenagers and they're stealing each other's hair clips," Stacey then laughed.
She then followed up her post with another, showing a sleeping Belle wearing her sister's hair clip. Stacey could be seen softly placing her hand on her daughter's torso, as Belle's little fingers gently clasped onto her mum's. "Oh beautiful Belle. At least your sister has good taste, Belle. It looks great on you pickle bum."
The snap also showed off Stacey's freshly done nails which caused a bit of a stir over the weekend. The new mum treated herself to a blissful manicure after finding herself child-free and on her Instagram Stories, she posted a picture of her gleaming new nails after enjoying some pampering.
