National treasure Stacey Solomon popped in to see her Loose Women colleagues today.
She gave birth to Rex – her third child but, first with her partner Joe Swash – back in May and admitted that she was fretting about how she was going to look after the tot because it had been so long since she’d had to mother a newborn.
She told the panel, celebrating the show’s 20th anniversary: “I feel like I went back to zero, I honestly feel like I’ve never done it before.

“My two boys are so much older, seven and 11, I just couldn’t remember a thing,” she said.
“I remembered bringing him home and just thinking, ‘How am I going to keep him alive? How does anyone do it, how did the other two survive?'”
Stacey – who has sons Zachary,11, and Leighton, seven, from previous relationships – was also full of praise for Joe, 37, for how great he has been with their tiny son.

Although she may have forgotten how to deal with a newborn, one thing Stacey hadn’t forgotten is how painful labour is.
