Stacey Solomon has opened up about being pregnant for the first time at 17, admitting that judgement from others was the hardest bit.
The Loose Woman is now mum to Zachary, 12, Leighton, eight, and in 2019 welcomed baby Rex with her partner Joe Swash.
But despite being a doting mother and one of Instagram’ biggest ‘mummy influencers’, she didn’t take immediately to her new role when she first fell pregnant as a teenager in 2007.
"I just remember feeling so ashamed," she told fellow Loose Women panellists Nadia Sawalha, Frankie Bridges and newbie Charlene White.
"I know that sounds awful but when I was pregnant with Zach, all I felt the whole way through was shame. I looked like a baby as well. I looked about six."

Speaking of breaking the news to her parents that she was expecting, Stacey added, "The thought that my parents knew I'd had sex made me die.
"Even though they were really upset with me, and hurt and disappointed, they never told me whether I should go ahead and have the baby or not have the baby.
