The mum-of-four initially shared her plans with fans on Instagram last night (January 16).
She told them: “Been speaking to the incredible lady at the dog rescue all day and now we are off on a little late night adventure to meet a little fur baby who’s being fostered and needs a home and our home & family could be a good match.
“We are taking Peanut and the little pickles to meet him.”

The television star announced the news earlier today, saying: “So we ended up bringing the little doggy home last night. We couldn’t leave without him. He’s so lovely.
“He was bred by somebody who was breeding dogs for sale and he wasn’t good enough for sale so they got rid of him…”
Stacey continued: “When we learnt about him and then saw Peanut’s reaction to him there was no doubt in our mind that he was coming home.
We couldn’t leave without him
“I didn’t know we would be able to bring him home straight away so we were a little unprepared. We’ve spent last night and today settling and getting him all sorted.”
She then said that she couldn’t wait for fans to meet “our newest member of the family”.
Meanwhile, the news comes weeks after Theo’s sad death.
