Emotional Stacey Solomon shares sweet photo revealing meaning behind daughter Belle's name

Stacey Solomon has told fans what inspired her baby daughter's name as they posed for a sweet photograph following her weekend 'regret'. The Loose Women star posted the gorgeous photo of her cuddling her little Belle, who is almost three months old, on her Instagram Story.

She had first posted a video to her millions of social media followers showing a bluebell meadow in a forest surrounded by rows of tall trees. "Hello May," Stacey typed across the relaxing post. "The time of year when the woods are covered in a blanket of bluebells and it's like a magical fairyland," the 33-year-old added with a face holding back tears emoji.

Stacey then followed up the post with an image of herself alongside her baby daughter. The mum-of-five could be seen doting over her youngest child as she cradled her among the bluebells and the trees.

Stacey could be seen wearing a dark green matching tracksuit sweatshirt and bottom, and her comfy white trainers for a walk in the spring sunshine. Her blonde locks had been swept up into a messy bun and the Sort Your Life Out presenter smiled as she leaned in to kiss Belle's cheek as she held her up for the camera.

The little one, who was born at the family's Pickle Cottage home in February, was dressed up in a white bear-printed pram suit, with white socks on underneath. "Belle Surrounded by Bluebells," Stacey wrote underneath the image on her stories, alongside a bright blue butterfly emoji.

"Showing Belle the bluebells that inspired her beautiful name," the former X Factor finalist then added, alongside a teary-eyed emoji. Stacey's venture into the bluebells came after she enjoyed a rummage around a car boot. She appeared excited as she showed off her bargain 'haul' after taking to her Instagram Stories to ask her followers if they also loved a car boot sale.

She put it to a vote asking 'boot sale haul?' before returning to reveal the purchases she had picked up. "The excitement begins," she said into the camera. The star, who is married to former EastEnders actor Joe Swash, then apologised to the small percentage of voters who didn't share her enthusiasm as she captioned the video: "Sorry to the five-per-cent of people. Feel free to skip past."

"How adorable are these?" she asked as she showed fans a pair of sheep ornaments. "Absolute baa-rgain," she joked. The mum-of-five also snapped up white oil and vinegar bottles for £2 with a matching teapot also for £2. Stacey was also chuffed with some 'massive' white candles and a little rocking horse money box for the girls' room. For three-year-old Rex she bought some Spiderman figures and she was amazed to find a doll in a pram for one-year-old Rose for just £4.
