Stacey Solomon has baffled fans by saying that she didn't know that she was pregnant with her fifth child for eight months.
The former X Factor star, 33, revealed that she was expecting another child with husband Joe Swash - and admitted that she was due sooner than she had thought. On Sunday night, the expectant mum took part in an impromptu Q&A with her followers as she answered their burning questions surrounding her surprise pregnancy, reports the Mirror.
During the candid Q&A, Stacey joked that she and Joe had only discovered that they were having another baby when the Loose Women panellist was eight months pregnant. But, understandably, fans were left perplexed by the confession and rushed to ask how Stacey hadn't realised she was expecting, with such a large bump and all the symptoms that come with pregnancy.

Stacey clarified that the happy couple hadn't just discovered they were expecting another baby at eight months pregnant, but were very late to find out. After a user said they were confused at how the duo didn't notice her growing belly, Stacey confessed they decided to wait the first few months so they 'had it to ourselves' after 'finding out late'.
She quipped: "I must be saying it wrong. I mean, we didn't just find out three days ago when I looked down and was like 'oh, that's not my usual evening bloat. What's going on?' But when we did find out it was past the point people would usually tell people."
Ahead of the birth of their fifth child, Stacey admitted that she and Joe are incredibly 'unprepared' - with no baby name ideas, or no nursery ready for their newborn child. While they haven't yet chosen names for their unborn child, Stacey revealed that Joe is keen to go with a traditional name.
"We've got no names. Like literally, nothing. We've had so many kids we've ran out of names," she admitted. Shouting to Joe in the background she revealed he likes 'really old' names like Betty or Arthur, while Stacey confessed she's leaning towards floral or Hebrew names.
Stacey and Joe are already proud parents to Rex, 3, and Rose, 1, while she also has Zach, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships. As well as his kids with Stacey, Joe also has 15-year-old Harry with ex Emma Sophocleous.
When Stacey and Joe announced the latest addition to their family, the Loose Women star quickly revealed the due date is this month. She told her Insta followers: "Coming soon… Much sooner than we thought when we found out we still wanted to have that first few months you usually would to adjust and get excited and enjoy it to ourselves, but that didn’t leave us with very long left.
"So this time next month, we will be getting ready to say hello to a whole new pickle. So grateful."
