Stacey Solomon tells husband Joe Swash to 'shut up' as she makes new mum admission while fans left distracted by new Belle pictures

Stacey Solomon was left cheekily telling her husband Joe Swash to 'shut up' as she shared a little life update weeks after daughter Belle's arrival into the world. The Loose Women star is just a few weeks into life as a mum-of-five after she and former EastEnders star Joe welcomed their third child together.

The couple, who wed in a private ceremony in the garden of their sprawling Essex home in July, were already doting parents to three-year-old son Rex and daughter Rose, who was born on Stacey's birthday in October 2021, before they found out they were pregnant again with their second baby girl.

They also have sons Zachary, Leighton and Harry from previous relationships, taking their newest bundle of joy, who was born at the family's home, dubbed Pickle Cottage, on February 7, up to five children between them.

Posting a video to her Instagram Story on Tuesday (February 21), Stacey spoke to the camera and appeared glam as she sat cradling two-week-old Belle. "I just thought I'd come on and say 'Hi'," Stacey started to say. "All the kids went back to school today and I didn't realise how loud this house was until they went back to school," she laughed.

The Sort Your Life Out presenter then shared: "Even Belle was properly wide awake today, like you know for the first time just properly looking around and I think it was because she was like, 'Where is the nose? Where's everyone gone?' But me, Belle and Rose got to spend some time together and then Rose had a nap so I was like 'Oh my god, this is heaven'."

Stacey, 33, then went on to discuss her appearance as she tied her hair up into a ponytail and added a bronzed glow to her face with some makeup and dark, fluttery lashes. "I don't usually look like this. I've just put some makeup on because it's my dad's birthday so I've tried to make an effort to go to dinner.

"By make an effort, I mean I've put some foundation on and a bow in my hair in the hope that no one will notice I still haven't washed it since I've given birth," Stacey laughed before Joe, who was off camera, chirped in; "No, I've definitely noticed." Stacey laughed and told him to 'shut up' as she admitted: "It is very greasy but I don't have the energy to stand there."

Stacey then distracted everyone by sharing some now gorgeous photos of her bab girl resting on her lap in a pink babygrow as her mum wore a matching two-piece loungewear set. "Belle was so awake today and I couldn't top taking pictures of her," Stacey typed on her Instagram Story alongside a tease of the images,

"I think she reminds me of Rex and Zach mixed together with her eyes open! But her beautiful dark hair throw me," she added with a crying laughing emoji. "Out Beautiful Belle," Stacey cried as fans rushed to look at the sweet new photos. "Oh Hello Beautiful Belle. The most special two weeks of you Belle…" Stacey shared in the caption.

"Today all the boys went back to school & Belle had lots of awake time. I think she was wondering where all the noise and craziness had gone. I felt like I got some time to properly see her & talk to her today. I love these days when they start to open their eyes more & really look around and begin to show you little bits of who they are and the adventures to come."

But her millions of followers were quick to respond and address who they think the newborn looks most like, and it appears it's her dad. Presenter Gabby Roslin wrote: "She looks just like her daddy @realjoeswashy." In The Style founder Adam Frisby commented: "Awww she’s so cute Stace!! I can see such a mix of Joe & Rex in her little eyes."

@balbassi_makeupartist replied: "Such a cutie. She’s a female version of Joe." @mariamorgan2445 shared: "She is the double of Joe!" @bevmasters2016 posted: "Double of daddy." @finduna echoed: "So like her Daddy." @yumi_yemi_eats added: "She's so beautiful all I see is jo she looks like her Daddy."
