Emotional Stacey Solomon opens up on 'guilt' as she praises NHS heroes who delivered Rex

Loose Women star Stacey Solomon was emotional today as she discussed the NHS workers who helped deliver her baby, Rex.

She revealed she felt guilty about her feelings towards being lockdown, because hospital workers are in a much more dangerous and difficult situation.

The Loose Women presenters, Stacey, Nadia Sawalha, Christine Lampard and Brenda Edwards were all working from home, having their discussions via video chat.

Rex was born in May 2019, and is about to celebrate his first birthday in self-isolation with his famous parents.

"People are putting their entire lives on the line, sacrificing everything to make sure that everybody gets through this awful situation.

"I'm thinking a lot about my midwife, when I had Rex, and the fact we were in and out of hospital a lot, and what that would be like now.

"I know a lot of women giving birth at the moment are really struggling because they can't bring anyone in with them.

"It must be such a scary time for patients and for nurses, midwives, doctors.

"These people are just incredible, we throw around words like 'heroes', but these people sacrifice everything and are so selfless.

"It makes me feel guilty when i have moments in isolation where I think, 'I don't know what to do today', or I feel a bit down or miss my mum."

She added: "It's so overwhelming, I love our NHS so much."

Stacey spoke about how her family were coping in lockdown and admitted she felt very lucky.

She said: "I feel really privileged to be in lockdown in our house with my family without having to worry about my family.

"It's not easy to home school two children and a baby but it's much easier than being on the front line or all alone or in dangerous household.

"I feel lucky, grateful and positive most of the time. At times I feel anxious and like it's out of my control. I can’t help anyone.

"I miss mum mum and extended family. But at this time I distract myself."
