Stacey Solomon has admitted she feels like the “world’s worst wife” as she confessed to having “no sympathy” for her husband Joe Swash.
Former EastEnders star Joe has been struck down with “man flu” this weekend, meaning Loose Women panellist Stacey has been left to tend to their three children alone.
The mum-of-five has kept fans updated on her husband’s health condition on her Instagram.
Taking to her Story, Stacey told her 5.6 million followers: “Daddy’s got man flu so it’s been us three this weekend while he’s recovering in bed! [cry-laughing emoji].
“So this morning I'm going to pop over to nanny’s and hopefully grab a cuppa [cry laughing emoji, prayer emoji].”
The doting mum dropped Rose and Rex off with her mum while she ran errands with her youngest child Belle.
Meanwhile, fans showered the Sort Your Life Out star with well wishes, which she thanked them for later while breastfeeding her baby girl in the car.
But it was at this point Stacey’s frustration began to show as she updated fans on her weekend of solo parenting while her other half was in bed.
She admitted: “I think I must be the world’s worst wife because all of you are so lovely. You’re like, ‘I hope Joe’s okay, send him our love, wish him better’.
“And I'm like, I’m gonna sound really horrible now, but I've just got no sympathy for man flu.
“I’ve got no sympathy for any flu he might have in all fairness to Joe. I've just got no sympathy, he can’t do anything when he’s not well, like literally nothing.”
Stacey went on: “So obviously he’s been bedridden yesterday and today and really trying to get himself back in order because of this man flu.
“And I just, I'm almost jealous. I feel like going home and licking him and getting the flu myself just so I can have a couple days sleep. I feel like three under three is way harder than man flu.
“I had mastitis the other day and he was in Carlisle and I just had to pick my big red swollen boob up and get some antibiotics and get on with it. He can’t function.”
