Stacey Solomon supported as she shares 'emotional' family update with fans and says 'even Joe made it'
by Jessica Sansome · Manchester Evening NewsStacey 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.
Over the weekend, they appeared to head to Lapland UK and posed for photos among the snowy trees while Stacey also shared pictures of her youngsters enjoying writing letters to Santa and meeting the main man himself.
Alongside the post, the mum-of-five wrote to her six million followers: "I just love being with my babies so much. I love for these days. A day with Santa & the little pickles… Special days. Missing you dad @joeswash but Santa is filling in nicely."
But now, Stacey has shared a heart-melting update as she revealed Joe was able to come home and join her and their kids as they celebrated Stacey's grandmother's 96th birthday.
She took to Instagram with a string of photos as she helped her grandmother celebrate the special occasion with an afternoon tea at home. Alongside the beautiful photos, the Sort Your Life Out host told her millions of followers: "96 today. It’s Great Grandma's 96th birthday today.
