Stacey Solomon’s social media silence sparks speculation among fans that she’s given birth to her fifth child

Stacey Solomon fans are convinced that she has given birth to her fifth child, due to her abrupt silence on social media

The popular TV personality, 33, who lives in Essex, has been keeping fans updated on her pregnancy since she announced she was expecting her third child with Joe Swash, in December.

Last night, Stacey strayed from her daily tradition of posting an Instagram story in the evening, which has led fans to believe she might be in labour or has given birth.

Earlier in the week, the Loose Women panellist posted a story alongside daughter Rose, which she captioned: “I tanned and washed my hair yesterday knowing I’ll be covered in placenta soon.”

Stacey and her husband Joe Swash, are currently expecting their third child together, they already share a son Rex, three, and a daughter Rose, 15 months.

She also has two older sons, Zachery, 14, who she shares with ex Dean Cox, and Leighton, 10, who she shares with Aaron Barham.

With her last post on Instagram, Stacey sent her fans into overdrive as it seemed to suggest that she would be giving birth in just a few days.

The former X Factor star, posed in a mirror, wearing grey pyjama shorts and a matching grey vest top, showcasing her bump to her 5.5 million followers.

She can be seen beaming as she takes the snaps, and captions the post: “Thank you for everything bump 🤍 Woken up with that feeling and so Just incase I don’t get the chance to say it tomorrow… I’m so grateful for them all. For every single time you’ve done this.”

Fans were quick to flood her Instagram posts with speculation and well wishes, one such fan penned: “I think she has already had her. Just being more private this time.”

Whilst a second wrote: “I think she’s had her too. She’s not posted anything in over 7 hours and she always does an evening video.” A third chimed in: “No posts today, I think bubba’s here.”

Another highly invested follower, wrote: “I wish you all the luck and best stace, am I the only one who is stalking your insta please tell me I’m not the only one.”

Another impatient fan, was also convinced Stacey had given birth, writing: “Looking amazing!!!! And you’ve not added to your story, so are we able to get excited..”

The loyalty with her fans is evident as a multitude of well-wishers admitted to checking her account every few hours to see if there was any news.

“We’re all patiently waiting, checking, rechecking xx,” a fan added.

After finding out that she was quite far gone in December when she announced the news, she confirmed that the child would be a February baby.
