Stacey Solomon has broken her silence on her fifth pregnancy as she thanked fans for their kind words.
The Loose Women star, 33, went on to share her awkward fear but said that she and Joe were "so so excited" to be expecting their third child.
Stacey and Joe are already parents to one-year-old Rose and three-year-old Rex. Joe is also dad to 15-year-old son Harry from a previous relationship and Stacey mum to sons Leighton, 10, and Zach, 14.
Taking to Instagram after announcing the news, Stacey said: "I have sooo much to catch up with you all...
"I'm just trying to enjoy this crazy bit between Xmas and NY where no one knows what day it is with all the pickles...
"Honestly you're all so bloody sweet and kind and I can't wait to come on here and tell you EVERYTHING.
"I can't believe we are having another baby! We are sooo excited. I'm nervous for my noon [crying laughing emoji].
"But so so excited."
Earlier this evening, Stacey shared a sweet video showing the moment she told Joe the happy news with a positive pregnancy test.
Captioning the video, she wrote: "Me + Him = So grateful & can not believe I’m saying this… Another little pickle is on the way… A HUGE surprise, but one that we are so thankful for to the moon & back bub @realjoeswashy."
The couple's family and friends flocked to congratulate the pair, with Lydia Bright writing: "Crying congrats Joe and stacey, another Pickle."
While Vicky Pattison wrote: "I'm sobbing congratulations guys."
"Ohhhhh so many congratulations," Candice Brown commented.
Chloe Crowhurst wrote: "Amazing! Congratulations guys."
It comes after Stacey shared her annual Christmas card picture last week, which showed herself, her two youngest and their dogs Peanut and Teddy sitting on a sleigh.
She joked that "there’s too many of us to manage", when explaining the absence of her fellow loved ones.
Previously, Stacey said that she and Joe often struggle to see each other due to their busy professional lives.
Stacey said: "Joe and I can be like ships passing in the night ... When I work he looks after the kids, and when he works I have the kids."
