Stacey Solomon was left in a bit of a pickle when she was forced to drop everything and join the Loose Women panel after a co-star fell ill.
The ITV favourite explained she had just got home from Rotherham, where she has been filming her BBC series Sort Your Life Out.
But, like a true professional, she quickly sorted her children out and got television ready as she joined Loose Women via video link.
She shared a cute picture of her and Joe Swash’s son Rex smiling as he cuddled up to the family’s dogs.
Stacey, 32, wrote over the top: “We are back from Rotherham and someone has called in sick to Loose Women so I’m scrambling around trying to sort the pickles out, drink my cold tea and put something on so I can cover today on Zoom.”
She went on: “I put a dress on. Joe is going to take Rexy for a long walk and now I’m going to redo my plaits and put my makeup on and I was going to show you a new eyebrow palette tonight but because I have to do my makeup now, I’m going to quickly show you now.”
Stacey is well and truly back into the thick of it after recently returning from maternity leave, when she welcomed her first daughter Rose last October.
Her Loose Women co-star Christine Lampard told viewers at home that Stacey was a “last-minute substitution” and had to present from home as she wouldn’t have made it into the studio in time.
And it looks like Stacey – who is also mum to sons from previous relationships Leighton and Zachary – could be about to get even busier.
As well as renovating Pickle Cottage and planning her wedding with Joe, it’s been reported that she’s in talks for a reality show based at their picturesque home.
A source told Heat: “Fans love seeing what her and the family get up to and are always begging for more when she puts up videos and pictures on her Instagram.
“Stacey is keener than Joe, but knows she can win him round.
“She’s so grateful for all the opportunities that have come her way, which have mainly been because of her Insta family, and would love to show even more of her home life.”
It’s reported that some aspects would be kept private, but the show would be a “sure-fire hit” with viewers and her 5.1million Instagram followers.
