The Loose Women presenter has been sharing the highs and lows of new motherhood with her fans over the last few weeks. Earlier this month she admitted that the thought of leaving the house with baby Rex is “daunting.”

In a candid confession on Instagram, Stacey posted a snap of her 'milking herself' while building Lego with her second child Leighton, seven, before admitting, “really do need to get out of the house at some point in the near future too before I go stir crazy but honestly, the thought of having to wear actual clothes and interact with other humans is really daunting.”

The star was praised for her honest depiction of birth when announcing the arrival of her third son last month, with a picture that showed a bloodied towel as she cradled her new baby.

Stacey – who is also mum to Leighton and Zachary, from previous relationships - has also shared an honest post in which she discussed the difficulty she experienced with hormones and breastfeeding following the birth.

She said, “I’ve found myself spontaneously uncontrollably sobbing into my mum’s arms, at least twice every day.

“Then I feel guilty that I’m not ‘enjoying every second’ like everyone tells you too because it passes by so quickly (and it does, my eldest is 11 and I feel like I just blinked and that happened).

“But sometimes I’m just not in control of my emotions, and I can’t feel guilty about having sad points it’s counter-productive.”

Even when you're ready and you know it's the right time to tell people, you still think, 'Aww, I do just want it to be ours a little longer'."
