Stacey Solomon says kids' school had to call after she forgot to pick them up

Stacey Solomon has revealed that she forgot to pick her boys up from school after months of them learning from home.

Loose Women's Stacey - who's mum to Zachary, 12, Leighton, eight and baby Rex, one - told that the school had rung her up to ask her to pick her two eldest up after it completely slipped her mind.

Filming herself in an Instagram video, Stacey laughed: "Would someone there please tell me you also forgot your kids?

"I was just having it up in the garden with Rex thinking I wonder when the boys will finish their homeschooling and then the school rang and I was like 'oh sugar what have I done here'.

"At least I didn't forget to bring them in, one out of two's not bad.

"What is wrong with my brain?"

She also shared a snap of Zachary beaming in the back of the car, adding: "Thank goodness he's smiling.

"I use all my energy on hanging my crisps up and completely forgot about my kids [heart emoji] [cry-laugh emoji]."

Monday saw schools in England open their doors again as part of the first step out of lockdown.

That meant primary and secondary school pupils headed to their classrooms for the first time in months.

And Stacey penned a sweet message for any parents going through the same as her.

"I know it's phone in a drawer day but I just had to come on here to say good luck to everyone sending their babies back to school today," she wrote.

"I know its a mixture of relief and worry, happiness and sadness all at once. But you've been incredible and done such an amazing job.

"Good luck to everyone in education who have worked tirelessly and so hard to keep our children safe and learning throughout this time.

"We love and appreciate you so much. Good luck boys and to all the children going back today. We love you."

And their could be more kids down the line for Stacey and fiancé Joe Swash.

They already have Rex together, and Stacey has Zachary and Leighton from previous relationships, while Joe has Harry with an ex.

"We talk about it all the time," Stacey told Hello! magazine.

"I think those are the life decisions you have to be having conversations about from early on, because why keep going years and years down the line if you've both got different plans, but luckily, we're both on the same page."
