Stacey Solomon was a little bit taken aback by her son's comment as they looked out at what will soon be their very own pool. The Loose Women moved into her forever home, sweetly named Pickle Cottage, last March.
She recently marked a year in the Tudor-style abode, which is said to be worth £1.2million, located in Essex surrounded by 2.5 acres of land and spoke about how she suffers from 'imposter syndrome' as she enjoys living in her family home with fiance Joe Swash, their baby daughter Rose, son Rex and Stacey's two older children Zachary, 14, and nine-year-old Leighton, from previous relationships.
Last week, after sharing photos from her beautiful new spring display which left fans in complete awe, she took to her Instagram Story with a snap that looked out onto the field outside the gates of their home as the sun began to set, with her children playing outside.

She wrote on her Instagram Story: "I don't think I will ever not have imposter syndrome living here." She then added with a crying face emoji: "Watching them playing in the field while the sun sets."
And now it appears her son can't quite believe their luck either as the family's very own pool gets closer to being finished. Stacey shared a look at the progress with her millions of social media followers on Saturday as she and Leighton got outside in the spring sunshine.
The 32-year-old video saw her pan around the shell of the pool as she and her middle son dangled their feet on the steps. "Me and Leighton are just sitting in the pool, pretending it's filled," the mum-of-four is heard saying. "I'm literally so excited. I can't believe we're going to have a pool one day."

Leighton is then heard saying: "How did this even happen," as Stacey let out an emotion-filled giggle. Alongside the short clip, Stacey wrote: "Me and Leighton are just sitting in the pool pretending it's filled and Leighton just casually making me cry. I think he's trying to see if he can fill the pool with my tears."
She then added: "4 more weeks and it'll be done." She then revealed: "I'm going to surprise Leighton for his birthday I think," before sharing a snap of the pair sat in the middle of what will soon be a huge pool of water and grinning up to the camera where they were previously sat.

"Your messages," Stacey said with a crying emoji. Love you all so much. I'll never take anything for granted and I will always be forever grateful."
On Sunday (March 27) Stacey will be marking her first Mother's Day with baby Rose. Her first daughter was born back in October, on the same day Stacey herself was born 32 years earlier, at Pickle Cottage.
Earlier this month Stacey said she spent the day 'welling up' as her first-born son celebrated his birthday. The TV star took to Instagram to share a gushing tribute to Zachary with her millions of followers as he turned 14 on March 21. It also gave Stacey a chance to reflect on being a teen mum.
