Pregnant Stacey Solomon is expecting second daughter
Pregnant Stacey Solomon has confirmed her fifth child is going to be a baby girl.
The 'Loose Women' star - who is already mum to three sons and a daughter - confirmed last month that baby number five is due in January - and Stacey has now revealed she's thrilled to be giving her kids a sister.
She made the revelation on Instagram after a fan asked: "Do you know if you're having a boy or girl?"
The 33-year-old TV star then replied: "Soooooo many of you asking this. So ... " She then added a picture of herself cuddling her youngest child, daughter Rose, and wrote: "When Rose found out she’s going to have a … sister."
Stacey added: "So excited to share with you that we are going to be saying hello to another darling daughter soon. Sisters.
"The boys are so excited. And the thought of Rose having a little sister as well as all of her amazing big brothers has filled our hearts.
"I have the most incredible sisters in the world. They are my everything. I’m so excited for the boys, Rose and our newest little girl …"
Stacey is mum to Zachery, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships as well as Rex, three, and 14-month-old Rose with her husband Joe Swash. She is also stepmother to Joe's 15-year-old son Harry.
The former 'X Factor' star previously revealed she was "a lot further along" in her pregnancy than when "you usually tell people" and as a result she's had to undergo extra tests to make sure everything is on track.
Before confirming her baby's gender, Stacey shared a video of her ultrasound scan and explained: "Hello Baby. One of the nicest surprises to come from being what they call a 'late booking' pregnancy.
"'I'm going for extra check ups to make sure the size of baby and dates are making sense because it's much harder to measure later on in pregnancy. There's literally no room left in there."
