Stacey Solomon delights fans with yet another honest post about being a mum

Supermum Stacey Solomon is loved by fans for a number of things.

Latest in her long list of talents and charm is her candid honesty about motherhood.

She talks openly about how much she loves her kids, but provides a refreshing mix-up when it comes to the difficulties parenting presents.

Now, she's shared a series of short clips on her Instagram story telling all just how knackered she is taking care of little baby Rex, who she shares with Joe Swash.

In one snap, Stacey is up at 4am to give the four month old a feed, before filming herself nearly three hours later when she has to get up.

Stacey says: "I've got to be up and leaving in seven minutes to go to Loose [Women] ...and I just can't get out of bed."

The next shows Stacey sat in a car on her way to the studios. She reveals: "I'm sitting here thinking it would be a great idea and it would feel really good if I just had a quick nap...but he keeps talking to me, and he's so cute and I'd feel terrible."

Stacey also shares clips of little Rex trying to roll over onto his tummy, with the caption: "It's not going to be long. He will be crawling around soon and I want to cry."

"It's not going to be long, guys," she says, "He's working it out. Are you rolling over cheeky boy?"

The X Factor star also has Zachary, 11, and Leighton, seven.

It's not the first time she's been praised for her mothering. Fans flocked to pour praise on her when she opened up about postnatal anxiety after welcoming Rex back in May.

In July, she told the other Loose Women that she was experiencing "gut-wrenching mum guilt."

She was also lauded for a bikini photo she took while taking Rex for his first swim.

Fans loved that the snap was completely natural and not edited.
