Stacey Solomon proved she's just like most other mums out there by spending her Sunday hiding in the toilet from her children.
The Loose Women panelist - who has sons Leighton, seven, and Zachary, 11, and another baby on the way - retreated to the loo yesterday to seek some desperately needed Me Time.
At first she just snuck off to actually use the toilet. But realising she was onto something, she decided to see how long she could get away with before her children and partner Joe Swash noticed.
"Sometimes I like to just sit on the toilet for as long as I can before anyone notices," she said on Instagram .

"And For the second time today I’ve managed to get approximately 8 minutes each time before I’ve heard the distant shouts of Mum or Stace. I feel like I’ve won the lottery of alone time."
Deciding she was going to go big or go home, she continued, "I’m still here and I’m going for the ultimate 10 minutes toilet time.
"I’m not actively going to the toilet, I mean obviously it’s started off that way... but now I’m just enjoying being in a room with the door shut and locked and not having to talk to anyone, cook, clean, or engage in any interaction."

On reflection though, Stacey, 29 - who is due to give birth in a matter of weeks - began to worry she might be losing her marbles.
"After writing this I find myself sitting here asking myself “am I ok?” “is this a normal thing?” I can’t be the only one surely? Maybe I’ve gone mad Xxx" she added.
Celeb mum and dads including Myleene Klass and Paddy McGuinness gave it the thumbs up, with father-of-two Paddy joking, "I judge it on how numb my legs get."
And others agreed wholeheartedly with her escape tactic.
"Yes I know this feeling well, but mine will just walk in. So still no peace even on the toilet," wrote one follower.
"Well I’m reading this, sat on the loo doing exactly the same," added another.
