Stacey Solomon does not tickle her children to teach them 'no means no'

Stacey Solomon has discussed her parenting techniques.

The TV presenter, 29, opened up on her reasons for not tickling her children during her return to the Loose Women panel on Wednesday morning.

The X Factor star, who is mother to three sons Zachary, 11, Leighton, seven, and Rex, five-months, told that she does not agree in tickling her brood as they need to understand boundaries.

Reflecting on her choice, she said: "When they are saying no and stop, I feel like actually there has got to be a line and there has to be a boundary somewhere.

"Because they need to learn at that really young age that no means no and that it's not just a joke."

Little Rex is quickly becoming a Loose Women regular, having made his TV debut during the show's 20th anniversary special.

Beaming Stacey admitted it was lovely to be able to bring her bundle of joy into work - and Andrea McLean joked he had seen things he could never unsee.

Loose Women viewers took to Twitter to reveal they could not keep their eyes of little Rex.

One viewer said: "I'm focusing more on Baby Rex than what they are talking about. What a cutie"

"How amazing @StaceySolomon doing live TV with baby Rex! I sometimes can’t do the supermarket with my two," added another.

A third said: "Lovely Rex knows how to steal the show from mummy & aunties"

"Baby Rex is so adorabubble," said a fourth.

Stacey admitted she felt nervous to be back in the chair after time off but was pleased to be back.

Janet Street Porter cheekily pointed out that Stacey had hairy legs, so she promised to have a shave before her next show.

She said: "I feel like I never left. I love being here with you lot and being part of this show. It's so nice to be back."

*Loose Women airs weekdays on ITV at 12.30pm
