Stacey Solomon has opened up about the realities of being a mum-of-five in a new Instagram post, and her fans rushed to send her words of encouragement.

Stacey wrote: "Proud. Feeling like I smashed it today. Don’t mind if I sound big headed but I felt like a superhuman today."
"For some reason lately I’ve found it easy to tell myself that I’m failing or doing a rubbish job & I never tell myself how well I'm doing. Three 3 & under & two teenagers is wonderful but it’s not easy.
"Joe did a night feed for me last night & then went to work So we did the school runs and then afterwards I managed to make it for the first time EVER to Rhyme time at the library with Rex, Rose & Belle. Spent some time with other mums & felt so nice to see Rex & Belle enjoying being out of the house."

She continued: "Then we stayed out as long as we could, came home, played play dough shops, did tuna pasta dinner & this evening was swimming lesson for Rexy. Now we are home & I’m ready to collapse on the sofa & start the cluster feeds.
"Sorry for the essay. But basically, just a little reminder that you’re doing amazing, even when you feel like you’re not. You’re so incredible, don’t forget to tell yourself that sometimes."

Another wrote: "It’s becoming easier to put yourself down rather than big yourself nowadays but looking at this picture we can all say you are smashing it."
A third posted: "@staceysolomon you a smashing it just by being up and all dressed! Never mind the rest… beautiful pictures, you are amazing please remember that."
