Stacey Solomon enjoys surprise baby shower as she prepares to welcome her fifth child

Stacey Solomon has given her social media followers a glimpse of her surprise baby shower over the weekend.

The Loose Women star confirmed last month that she was expecting her fifth child in January, her second with husband Joe Swash.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the 33-year-old revealed that her sister Jemma had surprised her with a baby shower to celebrate her impending arrival with her nearest and dearest.

Solomon shared several photos from the celebration which revealed a wall in her kitchen had been adored in white roses, while a hot air balloon arrangment in hues of gold was seen hanging from the ceiling with a teddy bear sitting inside and a personalised sign which read "Stacey’s baby shower".

There was also a whole host of delicious nibbles from cupcakes to fruit and even a teddy bear themed cake, which was decorated with white and pink roses.

Writing alongside her post, she penned: "Baby Shower. In the kitchen. My sister surprised me and got our family and bestest friends into the kitchen yesterday to celebrate our newest baby girl … (can’t leave close proximity of the house now until the main event).

"I honestly feel so grateful. I didn’t organise anything because firstly I didn’t think we’d have time.

"But also I felt like I maybe shouldn’t have one because I’ve been so lucky to have showered so many blessings already. Silly I know but hormones will do that to ya I suppose."

The TV star added: "I’m so grateful to my family friends and everyone who’s made me remember how lucky we are to get to do this again and how every miracle can have a celebration.

“To the moon and back always".

Guests at the bash included her close friend Sophie Hinchliffe - known as Mrs Hinch – and saw the Tap To Tidy star dressed in a pink dress that highlighted her burgeoning bump.
