New mum Stacey Solomon has posted a picture of herself tucking into a delicious-looking chocolate cake and declared that she loves whoever sent it to her.
Uploading the cake to her Instagram Stories, Stacey thanked “whoever just sent me this cake full of my favourite chocolates” and added: “I love you and I am eternally grateful.”
Clearly not worried about fitting back into her old jeans so soon after the birth of Rex, who is three weeks old, Stacey added that she had gone “straight for the Dime bar”.
The Loose Women star also revealed that the sweet treat was her “absolute favourite”.

Stacey’s honest and healthy approach to motherhood and losing her baby weight comes as a welcome breath of fresh air, with many new mums feeling the pressure to lose their baby weight as soon as they’ve given birth.
Before she welcomed Rex, Stacey revealed that she wouldn’t be feeling any pressure to return to her pre-baby shape after welcoming her third tot, her first with boyfriend Joe Swash.

She told The Mirror: “Just be you and accept it, your body will change. I don’t think my body’s ever been the same, I don’t think it’s ever ‘gone back’ since I’ve had children because the whole composition of my body changed after kids.”
She added: “I wouldn’t want to be one of those women that does go back nowadays because you feel like you’re not allowed to. The pressure swings on the other side because people say post-pregnancy bodies shouldn’t be snapping back and you shouldn’t be back in your jeans, but what if you just naturally are?”
Saying that her baby weight wouldn’t “define” her, Stacey also revealed: “It says nothing about you, it means nothing, it doesn’t define you. You can’t win, you just have to eliminate it completely and not worry.”
The new mum also shared a new picture of little cutie Rex.
Wearing a rainbow striped babygro, Rex looked as cute as a button as he crossed his legs in his sleep.
His proud mum said: “The way he crosses his feet makes my heart hurt.”
