Stacey Solomon returns to Loose Women for the first time since her wedding to Joe Swash

Stacey Solomon has returned to her hosting duties on Loose Women for the first time since her wedding to Joe Swash last month.

The presenter, 32, has been missing in action from the programme ever since the couple said 'I do' at their home of Pickle Cottage on July 24. She returned to the ITV panel show on today's episode (August 19) and took up the reins.

Fellow panellist Kaye Adams introduced the programme before saying: "Actually, we are swapping seats. It's not me in charge today, Stacey is taking over.

"So come on Stacey, bring your cup of tea and let's swap, it's all yours girl."

The mum-of-four excitedly moved to the top seat and said: "There's so much pressure in this seat."

Fans seemed very happy to see the star back on the show, with one person tweeting: "Stacey is pure joy and love. So glad she is in the anchor seat!!

Another said: "Finally!!!! @StaceySolomon is anchoring the show. Dreams do come true. You're doing a brilliant job Stacey. Just wish @NolanColeen & @brenda_edwards were there too."

Stacey has recently been enjoying her "honeymoon" with her new husband, but revealed it's far from traditional. The couple have been enjoying spending time at home with their kids as they enjoy their summer break from school.

Explaining their decision on Instagram, Stacey said: "Making the most of every second of the summer we have off with the pickles... This is our honeymoon.

"We are calling it a 'homeymoon' because we just wanted to spend it at home with all the kids all summer."

She continued: "We're always one in one out and all over the place. So this time at home is just all we could have dreamed of."

Her words came as she posted a sweet clip of her kids climbing trees in the family's garden.

Stacey regularly updates fans about her life and has posted a selection of snaps and videos from her special day on Instagram.

She uploaded a clip of her "magical" first dance which showed the star getting emotional during the beautiful moment. Stacey looked stunning in an off-white gown as she danced with Joe to a slow version of Whitney Houston's My Love Is Your Love.

The wedding party waved sparklers as the newlyweds slow danced on their huge lawn in the garden of the picturesque home they've named Pickle Cottage.

Stacey captioned the clip: "Our First Dance. I’m so lucky to have you by my side. Today, Tomorrow, Forever."

She added: "We got to see some of our videos today and it was magical. It’s so nice to have had time to remember our wedding in our heads and tell each other our different memories & favourite moments.

"Then to see it all on video was just the most special feeling ever. Hope this makes your heart happy the way it did us. Joe speaking to me in the middle is my favourite bit."
