The party is already the mother-of-three's second celebration of the week. On Tuesday, her Loose Women co-workers threw her an early birthday bash, and Stacey was left in tears live on air. The panellist, who has been on the show since 2016, was not only showered with treats – but even received a surprise video message from her sons alongside a live performance by 911 – one of Stacey's favourite pop groups.

When asked about how she's feeling about turning 30, Stacey said: "I'm excited. I'm glad to be alive. But I feel weird to be 30. There's definitely some weird emotions going on. I found myself crying a lot. I don't know if that's the baby or what, but I've found myself getting really emotional about things thinking: 'I haven't got long left, I'm 30.'"
