Pregnant Stacey Solomon reveals she won’t be back on Loose Women until after Christmas as she gears up for lengthy maternity leave
Stacey Solomon has revealed she won’t be returning to Loose Women until after Christmas and will be taking a lengthy maternity leave as she gears up to welcome a baby girl with fiancé Joe Swash.
Speaking during Friday’s show – when fellow panellists Nadia Sawalha, Kaye Adams and Linda Robson threw her a baby shower live on air – the soon-to-be mother-of-four was asked by Linda, 63: ‘How long are you gonna be off for? Just wondering when you’re coming back.’
Stacey, 31, replied: ‘I’ll probably come back after Christmas I reckon. I’ve never had a proper maternity leave.’

The former X Factor star, who is expecting her first daughter with Joe, 39, did promise her castmates that she would make sure to bring her little girl into the studio beforehand.
When asked by Linda: ‘You’ve got to come back before with the baby,’ Stacey replied: ‘Oh god as soon as she’s born.’
Kaye, 58, then added: ‘It will be nice for you to have a period of time where you can just concentrate on the family.’
During the impromptu baby shower, Stacey was presented with a variety of gifts and snacks – including her go-to pregnancy craving, raw cauliflower with mango chutney, mayonnaise and curry powder – and donned both a sash and tiara.
Stacey also explained that she is ‘mindful’ of every moment in her fourth pregnancy as it’s likely this will be the ‘last time’ she has a child.

Stacey and Joe – who have been together since 2015 and became engaged on Christmas Eve – are set to tie the knot next July after postponing their wedding due to the pandemic.
She and Joe share two-year-old son Rex, while Stacey also has Zachary, 13, and nine-year-old Leighton from previous relationships.
Elsewhere, Stacey has been putting her DIY skills to the test since moving into her new dream home with her blossoming family, and on Wednesday gave fans a peek of her unborn daughter’s new nursery.
Emotional, Stacey wrote: ‘I could honestly cry, it’s such lovely flooring. And just makes it feel so much bigger and cleaner in here… I went for a white herringbone laminate so I can mop it and keep it nice and clean in here. I just love it.’
