Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have an ever-expanding brood, with their blended family all living happily together at Pickle Cottage.

While they seem to have completed their human family, Stacey revealed they had welcomed three new additions in January, sharing the latest members of their family in her newsletter.

"Last month we welcomed Dawn, Dolly and Dorris to Pickle Cottage," Stacey revealed, sharing a photo of two white ducks and one brown.

"Why am I so obsessed with these ducks? I just love them so much. Along with Daisy and Delilah, they're honestly part of the family - I think they're the ones who listen to me the most anyway," she admitted.

Sharing further details about her new feathered friends, Stacey added: "They're all the same age as Dolly and Dorris, last season's chicks!"

On the activities of her new poultry purchases, Stacey added: "The ducks have started laying eggs – it's a bit earlier in the year than usual because it's not been that cold."

Regarding her obsession with adding more animals to the family menagerie, Stacey explained: "I'm even thinking about whether we can have a dairy cow at Pickle Cottage… Don't tell Joe."

Changes at Pickle Cottage

While Stacey has her new birds to keep her busy, her home is likely to be much quieter than usual, with the Loose Women host revealing her youngest daughter, Belle, two, has recently started nursery.

Sharing details of the big change, Stacey wrote: "Belle has just started nursery. That means for the first time in YEARS we don’t have kids in the house during the day… SO weird. What are we going to do with ourselves?"

Keeping fans in the loop of the changes, Stacey added that her older daughter, Rose, three, is thrilled about her baby sister starting nursery.

"Rose is so excited about having her sister at nursery with her, she keeps telling me how Belle needs to behave. I love that they'll be at nursery together," Stacey said.

With more time at home on her home, we bet Stacey is dreaming up all sorts of renovations she can do – and we can't wait to see! Remind yourself of her most recent renovation below...
