Loose Women viewers were baffled on Tuesday lunch time after Stacey Solomon made an appearance on the show.
The pregnant star announced that she was going on maternity leave at the beginning of August, yet she was back on the panel less than two weeks later.
The former X Factor star joined Kaye Adams, Jane Moore and Janet Street-Porter on the ITV show as they discussed nightmare neighbours, pensions, and poor sleep.
But Loose Women fans were confused and took to Twitter to comment.
One baffled viewer tweeted: "Huh? I thought Stacey was in maternity leave?"
Another asked: "What happened to Stacey's maternity leave?"
A third added: "I just thought the same thing - unless this show is pre-recorded but it doesn’t make sense!"
Last week Stacey told her Loose Women co-stars: "I will probably come back after Christmas, I reckon. I've never had a proper maternity leave."
Stacey is already mum to sons Zachary, 13, Leighton, nine, and two-year-old Rex, and is now expecting a baby girl with her fiancé Joe Swash.
At the beginning of August, the Loose Women ladies treated Stacey to a cute baby shower on the show.
Stacey was delighted as her pals presented her with gifts and dressed her in a sash and tiara.
Other extras were wheeled onto the ITV set including cupcakes and special snacks alongside a bowl of her favourite craving - raw cauliflower with mayonnaise, mango chutney and curry powder.
Stacey was also presented with gifts including a blow-up rubber ring, an inflatable unicorn, a teas maid, a bouquet of flowers and a special baby onesie decorated with the Loose Women logo.
Stacey confessed that because she is having a girl "it feels like a different experience" before adding that she is "so excited" and mindful of every moment as she thinks it will be the "last time" she has another baby.
Stacey has been updating fans and followers on Instagram about the upcoming arrival of her daughter, and recently teased that she will be arriving around the end of September or the beginning of October.
In an Instagram Stories video shared on Monday, the star shared a rough due date with followers while apologising for not being as active on social media as usual.
She declared: "I feel like I'm really just rubbish at the moment.
“I remember when I used to be really good at Instagram and I used to have really good days whereas now I feel like I'm constantly chasing my tail and trying to get my work commitments in and be with the boys as much as possible.”
She continued, saying she feels she needs to: “sort the house out, which I'm so behind on.”
Loose Women airs weekdays at 12:30pm on ITV.
