A fresh-faced Stacey wrote: ‘Good morning. We’ve been up all night because pickle isn’t feeling very well, he’s all snuffly and not his happy self at all.

‘Our boys age from 13, 12, eight and then we have Rex and honestly we are like a big family – well we are a big family. We are like a big working unit. 

‘We all help each other out and the kids are so good with Rex. Rex is such a good baby anyway.’

He continued: ‘He is a little bit poorly today unfortunately so he was up all last night so they boys are looking after him today.

Earlier this week Stacey shared a picture of her tummy rolls in a fluffy white two piece as she sat on her floor with Rex for the snap. 

Sharing a body positive message with fans, she wrote: ‘I Love My Body. It is changing all of the time so it takes some getting used to now and again… 

‘But thank Goodness it does change because if it didn’t I wouldn’t have that smile to wake up to every morning or those big brothers of his either…

‘Seeing all of your body confidence posts yesterday and today just reminded me of how much I miss being nice to myself.  

‘I’ve lost weight recently for some reason and I didn’t lose my skin with it so I’ve not been very nice to myself about it which isn’t like me at all. 

‘Your posts have reminded me that I am beautiful and every BODY is different and that’s what makes them special. You are the only you and that is perfect IMO.  

‘Cellulite is pretty, Stretch marks are glitter, extra skin extra so it’s got to be good right? Feel like I’ve got a special offer on skin.’

Ending on a grateful note, she concluded: ‘I love you all to the moon and back. Be nice to yourself. Because that’s what you deserve.’
