And while her TV career is going from strength to strength, having signed up to do more Loose Women shows this year, Stacey admitted at the beginning of the month that she isn’t planning on taking maternity leave as she is worried about money. The 29-year-old opened up about her financial worries during an appearance on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio, telling the host that she had no intentions of taking any time off. She said: "I'm self-employed so if I don’t work, I don't get paid. In this industry you can only earn while you're working and it might be a situation that I have work now, but in six months time I might not. I will carry on working."
