Stacey Solomon has revealed that she has bagged some support after heading on her first holiday as a new family of seven. The Loose Women star, her husband Joe Swash and their five children have travelled to Abu Dhabi to enjoy some much-needed family time, almost two months after welcoming their baby daughter into the world.
Stacey, who wed former EastEnders actor in a stunning home ceremony last July, gave birth to the couple's third child together, Belle, at their family home back in February. The loved-up couple also share three-year-old Rex and Rose, one. Stacey is also mum to her older sons Zachary and Leighton from previous relationships while Joe is also a doting dad to teen son, Harry.
While it's unclear if Joe's son has joined them on the trip, as Stacey previously explained she doesn't share photos of him on her social media without his mum's permission, the Solomon-Swash brood have been joined by another family member.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday after the sun set on another day of their sunshine break, Stacey shared how the family had headed to Warner Bros World where the kids got to meet the characters and take on some of the rides. "it was a super fun special day..." the mum-of-five said.
She shared the message alongside a snap of the family posing in front of the sparkling Warner Bros sign where an eighth member of their party was spotted - Stacey's dad, David. "Grandad is here with us too," Stacey revealed. Because he helps us so much at home we thought he deserved a break too (or at least that's how I sold it to him [crying laughing emoji])."
The Sort Your Life Out host added: "But really, it's because we need him more than ever abroad," alongside another crying laughing emoji. She also shared how Rose got on at Warner Bros World, sharing a sweet picture of her cuddled up to Bugs Bunny. "Rose was obsessed with all of the characters," she said.
"They were there all day so there weren't any long queues which meant she actually got to see and squeeze them all." The 33-year-old then laughed as she added: "Poor Bugs Bunny couldn't peel her off," alongside a string of crying laughing emojis.
Stacey also shared an update from their day on her main Instagram grid, posting a string of images of the group enjoying the sunset on the white sandy beach. " Magical Sunsets With You," she started the caption of the post which showed Rex matching outfits with his dad while Stacey twinned with her two girls.
As she continued to share more snaps from their day at Warner Bros World, including showing Rex taking a shine to Batman before he and Rose got a cuddle with Scooby Doo, Stacey shared: "Here’s Our day in pictures. There’s is absolutely no filter on those sunsets. It was just magical. Today we went to a theme park called Warner Bros world they LOVED it.
"Rose didn’t go on any rides but she cuddled every character she could find and the boys ran around Gotham city for hours. And then we watched the sunset before heading for dinner. So grateful for these days away… hope you’ve had a lovely Sunday lots of love from us."
But fans were quick to make the same observation as they watched Stacey take in the stunning views while feeling the sand between her feet as she walked around in matching floral dresses with Rose and Belle. @jacquelinem29 said: "What a lovely photo of you all, Rose looks so big now, enjoy your holiday."
@judeaandrews commented: "In picture 1 Rose is suddenly a little girl, so grown up since you had Belle." @cuddlesforyou posted: "Rose looks very grown up." @laura_lovell__ added: "Omg rose looks so big now…. Gorgeous family well done Stacy and joe."
It comes after Stacey shared a heartfelt message from her idyllic family holiday, with the location having been suggested by fans. After arriving on their Easter break the doting mum said she feels like she's in paradise. She took to Instagram to share photos of their precious time together on the beach as she explained why their time away together is much-needed.
Stacey told her followers: "I can't even explain how grateful I am just to be here, spending time with all of the pickles." And she explained: "We don't deserve this any more than anyone else. So we feel so lucky to be able to get away.
"I work away from these guys so much with filming and honestly I am just loving giving them every second of me while we have the chance." She continued: "I start back again in a few weeks so I'm going to soak up every single second of them. And I'll catch up with you all as I relive day through the pictures in the evenings. I just want to say thank you for every single lovely kind message."
