Stacey Solomon fans 'sobbing' as she issues emotional update to eldest son Zach

Stacey Solomon had her loyal fans in tears after she shared an emotional post about her eldest son Zach on Instagram.

The Loose Women panellist, 33, shared a sweet montage video which centred around the eldest of her five children following his 15th birthday earlier this week.

Stacey, who shares Zach with former partner Dean Cox, also has son Leighton from a previous relationship, as well as three children, Rose, Rex and Belle, with husband Joe Swash.

The emotional video had clips from when Stacey auditioned for the X Factor in 2009, when Zach was only a toddler, where she came third in the popular ITV talent show before she became the household name of today.

It also had a number of home videos with Zach being the doting older brother to his younger siblings and his close bond with stepdad Joe, with an acoustic version of Shania Twain's You're Still The One accompanying the clips.

Captioning the Instagram post, an emotional Stacey said: "Look How Far We’ve Come My Baby. 15 Wonderful Years Of You Zachy. Thank you for everything Zach.

"You are all our rock. I cannot even believe how quickly it’s gone and what a kind caring young man you’ve become. I’m so proud of you. To the moon and back always my darling".

Fans and celebrity friends alike admitted the post had them in tears. Internet cleaning sensation, and Stacey's best pal, Mrs Hinch said: "I'm gone. An incredible beautiful boy inside and out. Your first baby always xxxx happy birthday Zachy."

Social media personality Zoe Sugg added: "Well this made me cryyyy!! So so lovely."

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Kate Ferdinand admitted she was also emotional. She replied: "How special, had me in tears."

One fan paid homage to Stacey, who has more than 5.6 million Instagram followers, and said she deserves "all the happiness".

"You make us all feel like we’re your mates and welcome everyone into your family. You deserve ALL the happiness darling. Every last drop."

Another one said: "The love you have for your kids is so beautiful! I aim to be a mother like you when I have children," while a third follower penned: "Wow got me emotional! We have all watched him grow up with you."
