Loose Women presenter Stacey Solomon welled up on Monday after her youngest son, Rex, underwent a dramatic "big boy" hair transformation.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, the mum-of-four documented her youngster's trip to the barber where Rex opted for a striking new look. Inspired by his older brother, Zachary, the three-year-old made the bold decision to ditch his angelic blonde curls in favour of a smart trim.

Sharing the end results with her followers, Stacey, 33, posted an adorable carousel of photos on her Instagram feed. Alongside the heartwarming snaps, she penned: "Rex's Big Boy Haircut [scissor emoji]."

She continued: "Today we went for our usual barber trip with the boys but this time Rex asked for 'A Zachy (big brother) Haircut' instead of his usual 'Thor hair' request."

"Looks so grown up and handsome, and great parenting letting him have his choice of haircut," remarked a third, and a fourth added: "OH MY GOSH! Look at him!! Rex has just suddenly grown up".

Stacey's emotional moment with Rex comes after the DIY queen made a seriously candid confession about the unpredictable side of fame.

Stacey – who is set to welcome her fifth child this month – told the Mirror: "My dad is from a background where he had nothing, like literally nothing, so we could have nothing again.

"Even to this day I think, 'Well, we're comfortable now but something's going to go wrong at some point, it won't stay like this forever.' It's inherent.

"So, you're constantly thinking, 'I'd better hold on to that and I'd better not waste that' because in a few months' time I could be on the streets… It's that fear, passed down from generations. And a lot of people have that fear."

She finished by adding: "So, my whole attitude has always been take it, enjoy it, work your socks off and see what happens."
