Stacey Solomon has given the first update on her baby girl after announcing her birth.

The 32-year-old shared the beautiful news that she had given birth to her first daughter on Monday - which was also her birthday.

Stacey announced the news to her 4.7m Instagram followers on Tuesday evening with a series of pictures.

The Loose Women star and fiance Joe welcomed their second child together at their Pickle Cottage home, two years after she gave birth to their son Rex.

Stacey also shared the story of her home birth in a black and white video - from the moment she visited the hospital after feeling a few twinges to returning home where the adorable tot made her grand entrance.

There were also photos and clips of proud dad Joe holding tight to his first daughter while Stacey's two older sons Zachary and Leighton were also seen meeting their baby sister.

And Stacey has spoken for the first time about her daughter to her fellow Loose Women stars.

After seeing their love and congratulations to her, presenter Christine Lampard read out a message from Stacey who was watching from home.

Alongside a photo of her cuddling the newborn, who has yet to be given a name, the TV star described her baby as "strong-minded" and said she can't wait to give her "aunties" cuddles.

Christine said: "Stacey says: 'Girls, we love you, missing you all so much but loving these cuddles so much, too.

"She's already a strong-minded, wilful woman just like her aunties. She can't wait to cuddle you all.'"

The host added: "So yes, a very happy household there..."

Stacey also took to social media straight afterwards to talk to her fans.

"Hello, here she is," the new mum beamed as her daughter slept on her chest.

"Joe's just gone for a walk with Rex and the boys are at school so I thought I'd just come on here to say hello."

She went on: "She's just had a feed. My nipples are like just one giant blister but I've still got loads of serotonin left from the birth so I'm making the most.

"I love her so much."

Stacey said her daughter is "amazing", as are her boys.

"I'm so happy," she laughed before thanking fans for their lovely messages.

Stacey's sister Jemma and dad David were also by her side as she gave birth to her fourth child.

Jemma wrote under Stacey's Instagram post: "We love you so so so much baby girl.

"Stacey it was an honour to be by your side again while you gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl...

"Love you forever and always prepare for aunty spam. LOVE YOU ALL."

"How gorgeous to see number 9 on your birthday. Being there was very special. Welcome to the world picklelet. I'm sure you will be so loved and protected..."
