Stacey Solomon enjoyed a family reunion this week, as she met up with her sister Jemma after months of living apart.
The 30-year-old Loose Women star looked over the moon as she snapped a selfie with her older sis in the supermarket.
While Stacey has been in lockdown with her longterm beau Joe Swash and their little ones, Jemma, 32, has been living with her own family nearby.
Making light of the reunion, Stacey quipped: “Found her in the toothpaste section.”
Adhering to social distancing guidelines, the two sisters stayed two metres apart as they caught up over their shopping trolleys.

Later, with their groceries purchased, Stacey was forced to say goodbye to Jemma, emotional over their happy reunion after months of self-isolating separately.
She said: “Aww we are done and off home now. We picked up our essentials (and maybe a basket and duck or two).
“I can’t wait to be able to squeeze you and not have to shout our conversations. But for now, this was perfect.”

Stacey paired the photos with the crying-face emoji, heightening the emotion behind the long-awaited reunion.
Much like her little sister Stacey, Jemma is also a mum-of-three, working as a paediatric nurse and party planner.
In the past, the sisters have had a playful rivalry when it comes to baby names, with Stacey accusing Jemma of “stealing” her preferred name.

Speaking on Heart Breakfast radio, she said: “We have this sort of name rivalry. I really don’t want my sister to use any of the names.
“One of her children, I won’t mention which one, has got a name that I really wanted. And I said it out loud before. Schoolboy error.”
Jemma has also opened up about her friendship with her celeb sister, telling OK! magazine: “We always laugh about things and we go out together a lot.”
The Dagenham-born mum, who also owns a label-making business, revealed she shares the exact same taste as her sister when it comes to shopping.
“I was in a department store the other day and I saw on social media where she was and it turned out that we are in the same shop.
“We had been there at the beginning of the week and had gone back separately!”
