'WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BLESSING YOU'VE BEEN TO ALL OF US'

FOLLOWING THE ARRIVAL OF ANOTHER 'LITTLE PICKLE', STACEY SOLOMON SAYS SHE'S SO GRATEFUL TO ADD TO HER BROOD

Stacey Solomon is taking to life as a mum-of-five like a duck to water. The star was delighted to welcome another baby girl via home birth at Pickle Cottage in February, and as little Belle approaches six weeks, the mother and daughter have posed for a new series of sweet snaps.

Sharing the photos on Instagram, the 33-year-old Loose Women favourite wrote, “What a beautiful blessing you’ve been to all of us. We love you more than you could ever imagine. Thank you for the most amazing four weeks. To the moon and back beautiful Belle.”

“My whole heart is bursting,” the star also said of her growing family. “Feeling like the actual Brady Bunch.”

The former X Factor star is already mum to sons Zachary, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships, and shares son Rex, three, and 16-month-old daughter Rose with her husband Joe Swash. The proud dad also joined in with the photoshoot, gently planting a kiss on Belle’s head.

Former EastEnders star Joe, 41, who also has a 15-year-old son, Harry, from his previous relationship with Emma Sophocleous, isn’t as social-media-friendly as his “Queen of Craft” wife, but he frequently shares adorable photos of his children on Instagram.

The latest addition to Stacey and Joe’s brood came little more than a year after the duo welcomed their first daughter, who Stacey says has been a doting big sister to baby Belle.
