Stacey Solomon struggles with 'impossible' task with baby Belle before dad comes to rescue

Stacey Solomon has shared her struggle as she attempted to take baby Belle's first passport pics - but failed big time.

The Loose Women panellist, 33, took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday to show fans her attempts to get the latest member of her family her new passport, but called the task "impossible".

Showing a clip of her trying to get the tot to cooperate on the photo booth machine, each image says it "may not be compliant" with the standards needed as Belle failed to sit straight faced, but is instead bawling at the camera.

Giggling over the top of the video, Stacey said: "Send help. I'm trying to get Belle's passport pictures done and it's not going well.

She captioned the upload: "I am actually full on sweating in this booth. It's IMPOSSIBLE. And we have her passport appointment tomorrow. Send help."

Thankfully for the former X Factor contestant her dad was on hand to save the day. Her next reel showed grandad Dave smiling at the youngster while holding a professional camera.

As he tried to settle Belle, who was lying on the bed, Stacey wrote: "Thank goodness for Dave. I rang my dad in the end. I didn't want to take it at home because I thought it would be easier to do in the post office where they can check it. I was wrong."

Since the arrival of baby Belle - Stacey's fifth child and third with hubby Joe Swash - the star has kept her fans regularly updated with her sweet posts.

Just a day earlier Stacey showed off the sibling love between Belle and Rose, two as the pair snuggled together.

Stacey uploaded a picture of the two together, describing it as something she "never ever ever wants to forget".

The image showed newborn Belle looking extremely cosy as she was wrapped up in a snug-looking cream knitted blanket, while big sister Rose laid down beside her and gave her a cuddle.

Rose was dressed in a crisp white babygro with a frilly collar as the pair looked extremely settled.

Stacey wrote of the picture: “My heart Belle & Rose forever & always… These days watching them all fall in love are my favourite Rex used to love to cuddle Rose like this when she was tiny and want to sleep next to her.

"So seeing Rose now cuddling her little sister is bringing back the bestest memories and adding new ones that I just never ever ever want to forget xx."
