Stacey Solomon says son Leighton makes her day with surprise World Book Day costume

Stacey Solomon's son Leighton made his mum proud on World Book Day.

The Loose Women star, 32, shared a pic of the nine-year-old dressed to impress as he copied a character from a popular kids' book.

Celebrating David Walliams ' The Boy in the Dress, Leighton made quite the statement wearing a pink silk dress over his football kit.

The proud pupil was standing next to his brother, Rex, two, who looked adorable in his Spider-Man outfit.

Stacey captioned the pic: "So glad I got to see them off this morning. Leighton didn't tell me what he was going as so his dad ordered it and surprised me this morning - it made my morning.

"He asked me to put it on my stories because he was so pleased with it. Of course Rex was only ever go to be a Dino or a Spider-Man, so he's in his pjs," followed by laughing emojis.

It's been a busy week for the Sort Your Life Out star, who was on pancake making duty on Tuesday as well as looking after her baby, Rose.

Captioningher efforts, she wrote: "Made these for Rex before I left for work. The pancakes were ready made.

"I basically just cut a Dino out of them & sliced some banana and strawberries. Happy Tuesday everyone."

Loose Women's Kaye Adams announced today that Stacey would be back on the show tomorrow after giving birth to her daughter in October.

Revealing the exciting news, Kaye said: “It’s an extra special show because Stacey is back! We can’t wait to see her.”

The former X Factor contestant has been a busy bee as she was recently announced as the new host of Bake Off The Professionals.

Speaking about bagging the brilliant gig, she said "I can finally say the reason I have been going off and filming every few weeks is because I am going to be presenting Bake Off The Professionals this year.

"I was so excited when they asked me and we filmed a couple of episodes and it's just been so much fun.

"Everyone is so lovely and I basically just count them in and say ready steady go and then eat cake all day, its such a cool job, I love it so much and am just so excited for it."

Loose Women is on weekdays on ITV at 12.30pm
