Stacey Solomon has shared the sweet gesture she made to her never-seen mum after a 'help' message to fans. The Loose Women star was enjoying time at home when she took to Instagram to update her loyal followers on her day before she left Pickle Cottage for more work on her BBC show.
She started off by showing off her tanned and toned figure in skintight gym wear yesterday before working out. Stacey, 33, took a selfie by her outdoor pool in a black one-piece and a loose-fitting white jacket worn off the shoulder. She beamed as she looked at her phone screen, and her blonde hair was styled in a messy updo.
Her son Rex, three, could be seen playing by her feet while daughters Rose, one, and four-month-old Belle were both flat out asleep in their double buggy. "Joe's away today so we did the school runs, then me and Rex did everything in our power to keep the girls awake until we got home so that I could get them in their pram and walk them to sleep," Stacey explained alongside the snap.

"Because I really want to get into the gym today. I have so many away days this week so I need to get in there whenever I can." She then took another snap from in the gym before later getting back out in the sunshine and asking for her loyal followers' help.
Taking a picture of the gorgeous pink peonies that had bloomed near her pool in the sprawling garden of her family's Essex home, she shared it to her Instagram Story and wrote: "Help! These are my mum's FAVOURITE flowers. I love them too so much. This bush is huge and so beautiful. Can I cute a few to make her a bouquet or will I ruin the bush?"
After getting the advice of her followers, Stacey returned to social media with a video of her going around her garden collecting wildflowers and her beloved peonies to make her mum a bouquet. "Going to give it to her when she finishes work," Stacey shared before explaining: "She's not been feeling herself for a while so hope these make her smile."
Later on Monday (June 12), Stacey decided to have a proper update with her followers and took her phone to the sink where she was prepping dinner for her brood. "Hiya, back by the sink, this time making peri-peri chicken, or at least trying to. And I say making, what I mean is that I am putting a bit of sauce on," she laughed.
"How are you all? I am literally just making dinner. Thank God for Coco Melon because otherwise... dinner would never come. They are all watching me cook - Leighton is sitting there next to me on his phone. Joe is still not back yet. Your messages about mum's flowers - they were so sweet, thank you. As soon as they are down I am going to take them to her. I thought they were quite pretty."
She was then heard asking 'is it bad' as she revealed why she was so desperately awaiting her husband Joe Swash's return home from work. "Hopefully Joe is back any time now. Isn't it bad you're like wishing [them] to come home from work knowing full well you're just going to be like, 'Kids, daddy's home! Off you go...'"
Stacey continued: "But really he has been working hard. Well, I say working hard. He has been doing something for Walkers. He's been eating crisps all day really. Sometimes I think I choose the wrong jobs. I am knocking down chimneys and Joe's eating Walkers." She then laughed: "Idiot," before clarifying she 'loves' her job.
"Anyway, hope you're all well. I will see you at 4am - well, I won't see you because I won't come on at 4am. But I'll be up at 4am. I'm going to stop talking because I [sound] like a weirdo." She then signed off saying: "I'll be up at 4am to go to work, you'll be asleep - blissfully unaware! Love ya!"
Stacey's comments about her mum comes after she previously explained why fans don't get to see her own mum. She made the explanation as she marked her first Mother's Day as a mum-of-five earlier this year. Stacey posted a sweet image to her Instagram Story of herself with Joe's mum, who was holding on to her newest grandchild, and Joe's sister.
"All the Mummas," the Sort Your Life Out host typed alongside the image. "We went to see Joe's mummy and sisters in London," before sharing another snap of a full table as the group headed out for lunch to mark the special occasion. "Thank G-d for playdough and colouring," Stacey wrote alongside a crying laughing emoji.
The former X Factor finalist then posted a photo of a bunch of flowers as she shared how she had headed to see her mum. She then took to opportunity to explain why fans don't see her on social media as Stacey shares much of her life with her loyal followers. "She doesn't like photos so here's a pic of my card and past necklace from Rexy," Stacey wrote alongside a crying emoji. "I'll never not absolutely ball my eyes out every time I get a pasta necklace," she added with a crying laughing emoji.
