Now settling into life as a family of six, Stacey has been slowly introducing her adorable newborn to her nearest and dearest.

And the latest pal the former X Factor star introduced Rose to was BFF Sophie Hinchliffe, also known as Mrs Hinch, who took to her Instagram yesterday to share her joy meeting the little one.

The cleanfluncer wrote alongside a sweet photo of her holding Rose: "🌹Never have I held such a precious Rose 🌹Welcome to the world beautiful I love you both so much @staceysolomon ❤️ xxx...

"(ps: our mum buns are on point 😂😂)".

Writing under the heartwarming snap, Stacey penned: "We love you so so much 😭😭😭".

The two women previously welcomed sons just weeks apart, with Stacey's son Rex born in May 2019, and Sophie's first-born Ronnie in June of the same year.

The two boys are now best friends, just like their famous mums.

Sophie welcomed second son Lennie in May, and last week, the 32-year-old star gave birth to her little girl, which was also her birthday.

Taking to Instagram account earlier this week, the TV favourite proudly announced her daughter's full name as: Rose Opal Esmè Solomon-Swash.

She wrote: "Our beautiful flower - Our precious jewel - who is ever loved. It’s been the most magical week. We love you to the moon and back our little Rose 🥺🌹 We feel so so lucky to have you here…"

And while Stacey's followers were quick to share their approval for the pretty name, most would be unaware of how special it is to Stacey and fiancé Joe.

The choice of 'Opal' as a middle name holds particular weight for the couple.

In addition to it being Rose and Stacey's birthstone, it is also incredibly meaningful to the proud parents' relationship.

Last year, Joe proposed to Stacey with a special engagement ring that has two Australian opals inside.

This was a reference to "where they fell in love", with the pair meeting Down Under when Stacey competed on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, and ex contestant Joe hosted its sister programme on ITV2.

Stacey had said of her stunning rock at the time: “Sometimes I take it off just to look inside it. Because inside it are two Australian Opals.

“Opal is my birthstone and Australia is where we fell in love. It gives me goosebumps every time I look at them.”
