Loose Women star Stacey Solomon shared her 'night-time routine' with her young daughter, capturing a relatable moment that saw the routine briefly descend into chaos before she carried on putting her youngest children to bed.
The beloved mum-of-five took to Instagram to share snippets of her life, marking the end of her Bank Holiday weekend with a series of adorable photos that she described as 'heaven'. The 33-year-old was seen enjoying quality time with her husband Joe Swash and their three children - Rex, Rose, and Belle.
These intimate images, shared with her millions of online followers, were taken during what Stacey revealed was her first completely free weekend since ending her maternity leave earlier this year. She had welcomed baby Belle, now six months old , in February.
On Tuesday evening, Stacey decided to give her fans a glimpse into her nightly routine, starting with tucking the children into bed. In a candid clip, the Sort Your Life Out host is seen propping her phone up on the stairs and walking towards them, cradling her four year old son, Rex, in her arms.
In a relatable moment of domestic chaos, she accidentally kicked a toy left on the floor, causing her to wince in pain - a sensation all too familiar to those who've stepped on children's toys, dog toys or the dreaded plugs.

A video shared by Stacey showed the toddler sitting in front of her mother, mimicking her actions as she applied various creams to her face and brushed serums through her hair.
Rose, with an adorably cheeky grin, copied her mum's every move. As the clip concluded, the toddler proudly announced: "I've finished," leaving Stacey giggling before she went off to tuck her into bed. Captioning her post, Stacey wrote: "Let's do bedtime... Rose likes to do my nightly routine with me before she goes to sleep. The way she copies my every move. The face scrub!"
This heartwarming moment comes after Stacey reached out to her fans for support, seemingly overwhelmed by her 'baby' son's next big milestone. The Loose Women star had previously expressed her 'mum guilt' at the end of the last school year, feeling she hadn't been present enough for four-year-old Rex's transition from nursery.
In a heartfelt revelation, the mother and former Queen of the Jungle, Stacey, shared her emotional turmoil as her son Leighton transitions from primary to secondary school this September. She confessed to feeling 'mum guilt' for being frequently away from home due to her demanding work commitments.
Earlier this week , Stacey found herself overwhelmed by emotions once again. In an Instagram Story shared with her millions of followers, she posted a photo of Rex's new school uniform neatly hung on a personalised wooden stand adorned with her son's initial and a star. "New level unlocked... big boy school," she began, captioning the image.
The sight of the uniform stirred deep emotions within her, as she wrote, "I can't even describe how emotional this makes me. I can't believe in just a few days Rexy will be in big school he's still my baby. And Leighton is off to seniors." Her post ended on a humorous note with her pleading: "Omg, send help," surrounded by more crying emojis.
