The Loose Women star, 33, captured the moment she revealed the news to her beau, who was overcome with emotion.

Stacey told her 5.4million followers that it was a ‘huge surprise’ but was delighted to be welcoming ‘another little pickle’ – her sweet nickname for her children.

Stacey filmed as she called Joe into the bathroom to show him the positive pregnancy test.

As the shock news sunk in, the former EastEnders actor, 40, exclaimed ‘You’re joking’ before collapsing onto his knees to embrace his wife.

‘This is the best news bubba,’ Joe said as the couple cuddled and kissed as they revelled in the joyous news.

Former The X Factor star Stacey captioned the post: ‘So grateful & can not believe I’m saying this… Another little pickle is on the way… A HUGE surprise, but one that we are so thankful for to the moon & back bub @realjoeswash.’

Stacey and Joe are parents to Rose, 14 months, and Rex, three, while Stacey also shares son Leighton, 10, with ex-partner Aaron Barham, and eldest Zachery, 14, with Dean Cox.

Joe is also a father to son Harry, 15, who he shares with his ex-fiancée Emma Sophocleous.

The couple married in July at their home, dubbed Pickle Cottage, after seven years of dating.
