“But seriously, massive congratulations @StaceySolomon & @realjoeswash. Couldn’t be happier for you both.”
Stacey yesterday shared pictures of her baby bump - revealing she will be a mum again in January.
The star wrote: "This time next month we will be getting ready to say hello to a whole new pickle 😭 So grateful 🖤.
"While we had some time off we thought we better take some memories before it’s too late."
Stacey announced the news on Wednesday night, sharing a video of her in the bathroom with her pregnancy test.
She shouts for Joe, telling him: "Come in!" and waving the test in his direction.
He then gasps and says: "What are you holding? You're joking" before collapsing to the floor and giving her a hug.
The TV star wrote: "Me + Him = 👦🏻👦🏼👦🏼🧒🏼👧🏼👶 So grateful & can not believe I’m saying this… Another little pickle is on the way… 😭."
