'Broody' Stacey Solomon would 'love another little girl' as she gears up for fly-on-the-wall reality show

ok.co.uk:

She has been slowly but surely stepping back from various high-profile commitments in recent months, and it seems Stacey Solomon may well have some other plans up her sleeve.The star has been markedly absent from Loose Women, where she was a fan favourite, for some time, since confirming she was taking a break from the ITV chat show last December - only appearing once since then - and Stacey was noticeably missing from the 25th anniversary portrait of the ITV show, honouring its current stars.The former X Factor contestant is also thought to have stepped away from her hit Channel 4 show Renovation Rescue and announced she was stepping away from her role as brand ambassador for In The Style, a role she’d had since 2021, so she could focus on her family..

Perhaps juggling so many plates in her hugely successful career with such a busy family life proved too much. And nobody could argue that Stacey has a full house.

She shares Rex, five, Rose, three, and one year old Belle with former EastEnders star Joe Swash as well as Leighton, 12, and Zachary, 15, from previous relationships (Joe also has 18-year-old Henry from a past relationship).

But a source has claimed that there may well be another reason why doting mum Stacey is freeing up her time further, as she and Joe prepare to launch their fly-on-the-wall reality show, Escape To Pickle Cottage - plans for more babies. “Despite all her success, Stacey says being a mum is the best thing that has happened to her and she loves having such a big family, even though it can be hard work," they said. “Belle is turning two soon, and she hates the fact that she’s no longer a baby and she is starting to get broody again.
