Stacey Solomon ‘so emotional’ as she shares huge family update with rare snap
TV star Stacey Solomon has shared an emotional tribute for her son Leighton as he marks his 12th birthday, with the Loose Women favourite unveiling a "rare" photo
Stacey Solomon was proud as punch as she penned a sweet tribute devoted to her second-born child.
The doting mum, 34, wanted to ring in Leighton’s 12th birthday with an honouree post. The TV star shared two black and white photo’s to mark the occasion.
Even Stacey gushed to fans that it was “rare” for her to share snaps of her own son on social media these days but was delighted that her emotional birthday tribute made the cut.
In the adorable photos, the mum-and-son duo were all smiles, hugging and beaming from ear to ear for the camera. The Loose Women favourite went on to gush praise, she penned: “Happy Birthday Leighton. The funniest, craziest, wild, clever, most unafraid human.
The ‘Tap To Tidy’ founder added: “I’m so proud of the person you are growing up to be Leight. And I’m very excited to have a rare picture of you and me that you actually like.”
She signed off with: “To the moon and back Leighton! Happy 12!” Over on her story the TV personality also shared a glimpse of the birthday festivities which included a delicious Ferrero Rocher cake.
“Time for the best part of birthdays. Me and Leighton have the same taste in cakes and I’m so happy about it! ,” Stacey penned beneath the photo. The mum-of-five’s touching post comes after she humorously claimed she’d been “taken hostage” by her husband Joe Swash.
The famous married-couple had treated their three youngest children to a weekend at a caravan park. Their brood which included Rex, four, Rose, two, and one year old Belle, had been enjoying their stay so much they were upset when it was time to go.
As they’d enjoyed themselves so much, Stacey and Joe decided they’d stay an extra unplanned day. She told fans at the time: “We’re still in this caravan,” while Joe chimed in with: “The kids won’t let us go home.”
The former Eastenders star told viewers: “I’m keeping her hostage.” Despite all of the antics, Stacey refused to stay any longer because she’d been pencilled in to appear on This Morning the next day.
Joe cheekily suggested: “I reckon, there’s about a 75% chance that we’re not going to let her go on This Morning.” To which Stacey insisted: “I’m going, I’ve got to go, I can’t just not turn up.”
