Stacey Solomon poses in beach bikini just eight weeks after giving birth

Loose Women star Stacey Solomon has delighted her fans by taking to the beach in a bikini just eight weeks after giving birth to her fifth child. Stacey, 33, who gave birth to daughter Belle earlier this year, is enjoying a family holiday in the United Arab Emirates, keeping her social media followers up to date with their adventures in the Middle East sunshine.

The Mirror reports that Stacey and husband Joe Swash, 41, have taken children Zachary, Leighton, Rex, Rose and Belle for some fun in the sun to Abu Dhabi. Her latest Instagram post has been praised as 'inspirational' after she posted a picture of herself on beach with her new daughter Belle in her arms. The Loose Women favourite is wearing a black two-piece bikini with frills, with her long blonde hair flowing over her shoulders as she gazes lovingly at Belle.

Alongside the stunning photo, Stacey urged other mums to love their bodies. She shared: "So grateful for these memories, so grateful for my family and so grateful for my body, that brought our family here."

Fans praised the mum-of-five for her honest post. One said: "I never comment on celebs pics but this is so refreshing to see. A normal mum with a normal beautiful body making memories with her kids. Love to see it."

Another added: "This is so refreshing to see such a candid photo of you and your princess! No filters, no Photoshop, no expert pose and photography, just a beautiful natural woman unashamedly embracing her body..... and it is EVERYTHING! This post gives me chills in the best way."

A third said: "I love seeing a real unfiltered mummy on here! So refreshing." While a fourth gushed: "The fact you post these pictures after just giving birth is what so many of your followers truly love you for being yourself. Summer is such a difficult time for me after having 2 kids and not being slim, so thank you for portraying a ‘normal’ body."

Among their adventures on the dream holiday has been a visit to the Warner Brothers theme park and watching the sun set before having dinner out.
