On Saturday, the Loose Women star shared a heartwarming update ahead of the birth of her fifth baby.

Stacey hasn't yet shared her birthing plans for her fifth child after her one-year-old daughter Rose was unexpectedly born at Pickle Cottage, the couple's £1.2million country home in Essex.

The TV star gave birth to her first daughter on her 32nd birthday after being sent home from the hospital following mild contractions.

At the time, she told her followers: "I woke up feeling a little twingey so I went to check in on her. She seemed happy as Larry and the contractions weren’t too strong so I went home.

"But she decided she was ready to meet us immediately. [laughing emoji] So our community midwives came straight over with all the gas and air."

Rose's unexpected home birth was a first for the star, who gave birth to her son Rex in hospital. Updating fans on his delivery, Joe penned a message via Stacey's Instagram that read: "We are overwhelmed, overjoyed and apprehensive of what’s to come. Mummy and baby are well and resting. We are so grateful for all of the love, support and positivity we’ve received over the last 8 months. I’m lost for words to describe how I’m feeling."

The doting mother-of-four is yet to share whether she will choose to welcome her fifth child at home or in hospital, but we wish her well for the exciting day!
