Stacey Solomon was left issuing a sincere apology to her fans in a late-night video as she thanked them for their support. The Loose Women star appeared in a video posted to her Instagram Story after putting two out of her three youngest children to bed.
Speaking directly to the camera in the dark, Stacey, 33, said: "I just got Rex and Rose down... Belle is not having it, are you?" before panning the camera to show her four-month-old daughter, who she shares with her husband Joe Swash, wide awake and trying to clamber onto her.
Stacey's post came after she had taken to her Instagram Story to talk about the release of her latest collection with In The Style. "I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your messages about the collection," the Sort Your Life Out host said. "It's the best feeling in the world.

"I never expect anyone to buy it so just having your feedback and getting such lovely, positive message from you is honestly the best feeling in the world. So thank you so much."
And after the collection, which features swimsuits, bikinis and other holiday-ready outfits, launched on the Manchester fashion brand's app and website, Stacey returned to social media, as mentioned, with an apology.
"Oh my gosh, I just got a message from Adam [Frisby - In The Style's founder] saying the collection's gone down well and that you've been so lovely about it," she said. "I just wanted to come on here and say thank you. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! It's the best feeling in the world.
"I have been working on that collection for nearly a whole year and I'm just so proud that it's finally out and that the response has been so lovely. So just thank you so much." The mum-of-five added: "I'm so sorry there's no restocks and I'm so sorry if anyone's disappointed because I know a lot of the stuff has gone."
Sharing an explanation, Stacey continued: "But just so I can get the best price point so it's the best price for everyone and the best materials, we have to do it so far in advance we can't do restocks and stuff. So I am really sorry. But I'm so grateful and honestly, I love you all loads. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Her comments come after Stacey was showered with praise and support as she took to social media with a string of bikini snaps. The former Queen of the Jungle was smiling from ear-to-ear as she declared 'life's too short' when sharing the images with her millions of fans and followers.
She was modelling her latest range in the sprawling garden of her Essex home, affectionately dubbed Pickle Cottage due to the nickname Stacey has for her children. The 33-year-old shared how her latest drop with the online retailer has been a year in the making.
She told fans how she wanted to make sure she created a swimwear and cover-up range that was comfortable for those wearing it. In a post on her Instagram Story as she posed in a halterneck printed swimsuit with her blonde locks slicked back in a wet style, Stacey said: "I can honestly say we started working on this last summer.
"I've never been so proud to have made the swimwear we have this year. It's so beautiful, flattering, comfortable, supportive and just everything I could have dreamed of." She added: "This is one of my favourite prints."
She was then seen sporting a white two-piece featuring high-waisted bottoms and a crop top style bikini top. "This bikini is just life... I honestly struggle with swimwear so much because I want to be covered up but I still want to feel cool. I don't want to look like a granny but I don't want my bum cheeks hanging out...
"This covers my whole bum. It's not going up like a thong and it covers my 'nun'. I only have to shave the bare minimum which is what I think about when I'm buying swimwear. It goes down and not up the 'nunny' which so many bikinis do now." And she was then seen almost jumping for joy in a black swimsuit as she quipped: "I feel like I should be running into the pool in this one like Pam [Pamela] Anderson.
"Who do I think I am right now?" She went on: "How nice is this costume? It has this gold detail, I wanted a black costume that didn't look like it was out of Grandma's drawers." Stacey then clarified: "Grandma, you have the best taste ever but we have different tastes." Referring back to the swimsuits she added: "Young, pretty and covered. I am so proud of it - this fabric is something else. Textured, crinkled. So nice."
And alongside the string of images posted to her main Instagram grid, Stacey shared: "Just because… I felt bloody beautiful today! I’ll be honest growing up society’s vibe did make me feel like I definitely wouldn’t be the girl who got to do swimwear shoots. So I’m marking these moments."
She went on: "So proud. I love that I didn’t have to worry about my bum cheeks flopping out or having to shave within an inch of my life in any of these [crying laughing emoji]. Also I don’t usually swim with a full face of make up but we went for full glam for today [crying laughing emoji]. (I took these pictures while I was trying on my @inthestyle (A D) summer collection today. It’s not available until next Wednesday but I just wanted to share these today because I love them so much)."
