Stacey Solomon says 'I'm that sad' after accusing Joe Swash of 'flirting' with other mums after big day with two of her sons

Stacey Solomon jokingly accused Joe Swash of flirting and using their baby daughter to "chat up all the mums" during a visit to her son's new school. It was a big day for the mum-of-five as she went to her youngest son's last sports day at nursery before joining teenager Leighton at his new school.

Earlier this month, Stacey opened up to her followers and shared her emotions about her middle son Leighton who is preparing to head to a secondary school after the summer holidays. She admitted that she was feeling 'nervous' for the youngster as none of his friends from primary school are heading to the same one - while noting her own nerves too as she feels apprehensive about making new friends.

"It took me a really long time to find school mums that like me," laughed the TV personality at the time while candidly updating her 5.7 million Instagram followers. Stacey shares 11-year-old Leighton with ex-fiancé Aaron Barnham, after welcoming eldest Zachary, 15, with childhood sweetheart Dean Cox.

She is also mum to Rex, four, Rose, 20 months, and four-month-old Belle - sharing the three youngest with her husband Joe, who she met in 2010 after winning I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.

Sharing her fears for Leighton finishing off primary school, Stacey said: "It's starting to feel emotional now because it's nearly summer and then that's it, none of Leighton's friends are going to the school that he's going to.

"I just feel really nervous for him but hopefully they'll all stay in touch, I really hope so because I like the mums too. It took me a really long time to find mums that like me. But Rex is going to Leighton's school and some of their siblings are going there as well so hopefully I'll still see them."

But in her latest update, it appears that Stacey's nerves have been put at ease. Taking to her Instagram Story the Sort Your Life Out host first shared a picture of youngest son Rex who was all smiles with a little gold medal draped around his neck. "Happy last nusersy sports day Rexy," Stacey wrote with a crying emojis. "Love u!"

She then shared a sweet picture of herself and Leighton cosied up and smiling into the mirror for the mirror selfie. "Good luck Leighton..." she started to type. "Now it's time for Leighton (and me tbh) to make some new friends. We didn't get into any of the schools his friends are going to so it's starting all over again! We were nervous at first but now I'm actually super excited for Leighton," she added.

And things appeared to go well as she later returned with a video catch-up. Speaking directly to the camera form her kitchen sink, she said: "Finally home! Today has felt the longest day of school administration ever. Leighton had a really good time, he made some friends."

But she couldn't help but take a dig at her husband as she continued: "Joe kept chatting up all the mums! I was literally listening to the headteacher…” she trailed off while noticing Joe lingering in the background and listening in. Turning to her other half, who she wed in July last year, Stacey laughed and exclaimed: “Yeah, you!”

She continued: “I turn around and Joe’s, like, using Belle as his chat up line to all the mums with babies at the back.” But Joe interjected and hit back: "Listen I don’t need Belle for my chat up lines," to which Stacey replied: "You do need Belle!" But Joe cheekily boasted: "They were all over me."

Though Stacey wasn't going to be as she replied: “Cos you were making out like you’re a single dad when I was at the front of the queue!” Carrying on the banter with his wife, Joe winked and quipped: "I might be a single dad soon if I’m getting this sort of attention," before Stacey lightheartedly nudged him with her foot out of the way.

She then ended her video by telling her loyal fans and followers that she felt like a 'loser' as she couldn't wait to come and chat to them online. "I just basically wanted to come on and say hello. I get excited to come on here and have a chat about the day," she laughed. "I'm that sad. I think, 'I can't wait to get home and talk to my mates about what's happened today. Oh I'm such a loser."
