Stacey Solomon 'crying' over son's milestone after addressing judgement at becoming a mum at 17

Stacey Solomon has told fans that they will find her 'crying' as she helps celebrate her son's latest milestone. The Sort Your Life Out host briefly took to Instagram on Tuesday (March 21) to reveal that it's her eldest son, Zachary's, 15th birthday.

In a photo shared with her millions of followers on her Instagram Story, the kitchen of their family home, dubbed Pickle Cottage thanks to Stacey's nickname of 'pickle' for her children, could be seen decked out with silver balloons revealing her teen son's age alongside a row of gifts.

It appears Stacey's eldest son, who was born when she was 17, has bagged himself a few designer bits with a Flannels bag seen on the worktop, alongside a trainer box, with what appears to be the logo for Jordan on the front, and another item which appears to be from The Perfume Shop.

"Today is Zachary's day," the mum-of-five typed alongside the image. She then went on to share: "If you need me I'll be crying looking through all of our home videos of my baby who's now taller than me and [is] growing a bears," alongside a crying laughing emoji.

She also shared the teen's one birthday wish which parents across the country will probably be familiar with. "For anyone else with teenage kids... [crying laughing emoji]. Feel like I've found gold," the Loose Women star wrote as she held onto a bottle of the viral Prima drink created by YouTuber's KSI and Logan Paul.

"It's the ONLY thing he asked for and I couldn't find it anywhere," Stacey said before revealing that she tracked some down at an independent sweet shop who also personalised some sweet for the birthday boy with a bag reading: "Zachary's treasure."

It comes after Stacey used Mother's Day to reflect on being a young mum. Taking to Instagram on Sunday (March 19), Stacey couldn't have looked happier as she got her adorable brood together for a group snap. The beaming mum could be seen surrounded by her children, with her cradling her newborn, who was born on February 7 at home, while eldest child Zachary held on to a sleeping Rose.

"I’ve been a mum since I was 17 years old," Stacey started the caption of her post to her millions of followers. "I barley remember life before becoming mum. I do remember all of the looks I’d get & all of the things that people would say when they saw a “child raising a child”. I can’t believe I am now a mummy of 5.

"And all I can say is, not one of those judgments or opinions back then were true. No matter how real they felt I look at each of them now and I have never felt so proud." The former X Factor finalist went on to say: "They are the kindest most amazing people and I was a part of that. Zachy, Leight, Rex, Rose, Belle You are all my biggest blessings. My greatest achievements. Every single one of you have made me who I am.

"I’m so grateful for you all. And it’s the biggest privilege raising you all. Forever my little pickles. To the moon and back always. Happy Mother's Day to all of you mum as out there. Sending lots of love to all of you who find today extremely difficult." Stacey's dad, David, was among the first to send a gushing message to his daughter, writing in the comments: "How you have grown how you have sown and most of all your an awesome Mummy who is loved more than can ever be told.

"I'm the most Humble Dad to have the most Humble beautiful gorgeous loving caring and talented mummies children and a Dad can ask for @labellady your both my inspiration now as I was yours. Words can't describe how much I love you all." And Stacey was also flooded with messages from other mums who gave birth to their first child as teenagers while others wished her a lovely day and showed their support.
