Stacey Solomon lands role as Loose Women anchor for first time and admits she loves it

Stacey Solomon has landed herself a new role on Loose Women - and she loved it.

The 31-year-old said she felt "so nervous" ahead of yesterday's episode as she was anchoring for the first time.

But thankfully, it went well for the pregnant star, and she took to her Instagram to share the exciting news with her followers.

"I've finished filming for Loose Women and I'm finally home. It was a special episode where I was anchoring for the first time so I was nervous but ended up loving it," Stacey wrote as she posted a photo of her doormat.

The mum-of-three celebrated with some time to herself as fiancé Joe Swash and the boys were out.

She went on to do a Q&A with her fans, spilling some details on her pregnancy with her first daughter.

The former X Factor star revealed she is having a Libra baby – who's due date is just two months away.

Stacey's daughter will be her second child with husband-to-be Joe, 39 – who has another son of his own, 14-year-old Harry, from a past relationship, while Stacey's two oldest sons are from two past relationships.

She has been updating fans and followers on Instagram about the upcoming arrival of her daughter, and teased that she will be arriving around the end of September or the beginning of October.

The Loose Women host shared a rough due date with followers while apologising for not being as active on social media as usual.

She declared: "I feel like I'm really just rubbish at the moment.

"I remember when I used to be really good at Instagram and I used to have really good days whereas now I feel like I'm constantly chasing my tail and trying to get my work commitments in and be with the boys as much as possible."

She continued, saying she feels she needs to: "Sort the house out, which I'm so behind on."

Then added: "And I know she's going to be here in eight or nine weeks so I just think, oh no, I've got to get so much done!

"But hopefully when she comes I'll just be able to chill and be myself."

It’s not just Stacey who has been spilling secrets about her life ahead of her latest bundle of joy’s arrival.

Fiancé Joe has also been giving updates to fans – including some of the wild cravings that Stacey has been experiencing.

He said online: "I am a man of simple pleasures. If I want a snack, it will be something that fills me up. I’m old fashioned – meat, veg, potatoes.

“Stacey loves all that fancy stuff; she’ll whip up strawberries and cream on pastry – that is my worst nightmare!"

He continued: “Her snack habits have just got stranger now that she is pregnant!"

“She likes to eat raw cauliflower coated in mango chutney, mayonnaise, then mixed with curry power. She loves it, but it makes my stomach churn making it for her."
