by · Manchester Evening News

Stacey Solomon has been flooded with messages of love and support from fans as she shared an 'emotional' family update with fans which included her husband Joe Swash despite his busy work schedule.

The Loose Women star has mainly been riding solo at home as she joked that she had been 'estranged' from her other half due to him working over Christmas as he stars in Beauty and the Beast this pantomime season at The Grove in Dunstable.

Stacey has since joked she's found a replacement for Joe as she spent some time enjoying some Christmas fun with their children - Rex, five, Rose, three, and one-year-old Belle.
