Joe Swash shows baby Rose is already taking after her mum Stacey Solomon in brilliant snap

Joe Swash has shared a brilliant snap detailing his new-born daughter's resemblance to fiance Stacey Solomon.

The couple, who got engaged last December, welcomed their second child together last week.

Baby Rose Opal Esmè Solomon-Swash was born on Stacey's 32nd birthday on October 4 at their home, adorably dubbed 'Pickle Cottage'.

Loose Women star Stacey only revealed her daughter's sentimental name this week after asking fans for help to pick one.

And little Rose is already settling into new-born life, as Joe's latest update showed.

The ex-EastEnders actor took to his Instagram story with a snap of Stacey who was fast asleep with her head propped up against the headboard of their bed.

Rose, meanwhile, was also in the land of nod as she slept on Stacey's chest.

But Joe was quick to point out she's already taking after her mum.

"OMG they sleep the same… " the TV star wrote alongside the sweet, yet funny, image.

"I’ve never seen a baby sleep with their mouth open like Stacey. I can’t stop laughing."

He added: "Catching flies," with a crying laughing emoji.

Rose is Stacey and Joe's second child after welcoming son Rex, now two, in 2019.

Stacey is also mum to older sons Leighton and Zachary and Joe also shares son Harry with a former partner.

The former X Factor star announced that she and fiancee Joe Swash had finally decided on a name for their 'precious jewel' on Tuesday evening.

She shared an adorable photo of the new-born on Instagram as she laid in a blush babygrow alongside a pink rose.

She wrote: "Rose Opal Esmè Solomon-Swash.

"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… Thank you all for your loveliness, your kindness and just being there at 3am for a chat it’s been the best. Love you all".

On Wednesday's Loose Women, presenter Ruth Langsford went on to reveal the significance of the baby girl's middle name.

"We've got some lovely Loose Women news today because Stacey and Joe have finally announced the name of their week-old baby girl," she said on the ITV show.

"Her middle name Opal has got special significance actually for Stacey and Joe because Opal is Stacey's birthstone, and Rose was actually born on Stacey's birthday, so that's now her birthday.

"And then Stacey's engagement ring has got two Australian Opals because that's where she and Joe met on I'm A Celebrity."
