Nadia Sawalha has found herself in hot water with Stacey Solomon’s fans after she offered up congratulations on the birth of her daughter – moments after it had been announced.
The Loose Women star logged into Instagram on Tuesday to let everyone know that her and partner Joe Swash’s little girl had arrived on her 32nd birthday.
Sharing a picture of a pink floral blanket, the TV star told her 4.7 million followers: “So to my family on here.
“Yesterday I got the best birthday present I could have asked for.”
The Eastenders star and former X Factor singer hadn’t even aired the news on their own social media grids when Nadia swooped in to chime her glee.

Including a picture of her friends Stacey and Joe at their baby shower, Nadia wrote: “Awwwwww…..she’s here! Congratulations @staceysolomon and @realjoeswashy!!
“The baby girl you both longed for is in your arms! And on your birthday too Stace!
“Thrilled to bits for you all! Can’t wait for a snuggle and a sniff of that milky neck!!!
“Big hugs and kisses to you your boys , and now your DAUGHTER TOO.”
The TV panellist signed off with: “Welcome to the world little one.”
Many fans were left confused thinking Nadia had beat the new mum to the announcement as they hadn’t yet seen the news from Stacey herself.
One person ranted: “Wow would of been nice to hear that from her???!!!!!!”
A seconded raged: “Well Nadia’s came out before Stacey’s and she could’ve at least given her time to revel in her own accomplishment before telling the world.
“She revealed it far too close literally seconds apart.”

A third added: “Faaaaarrrrr too soon to post this in my opinion… it was within minutes that you told everybody the news…to the point that your story came before Stacey’s so I heard it from you!!!
“Not nice, especially due to the absolutely beautiful videos she showed of the birth that she has shared with everybody.”
While a fourth sarcastically added: “Thanks for that Nadia.”
It isn’t the first time that Nadia has come under fire for trying to steal Stacey’s thunder after she was accused of giving away Stacey’s baby name following the baby shower.
Last month, Nadia post read: “What a beautiful afternoon spent with a truly beautiful family. We are all so excited for you and can’t wait to meet your new pickle-Lilly.”
This was quickly followed up with a retracting statement: “(This is my playful nickname for baba and NOT a name drop!!) Love you Stace and Joe..”
The newborn’s name is yet to be announced, and many are eager to know what their little bundle of joy has been called.
