She wrote: ‘We are growing another pickle. We’ve never felt so grateful… I have no words. We didn’t think we would get the chance.
‘We love you all to the moon and back. Lots of love From Me, Joe, Harry, Zach, Leighton, Rex, and our little pickle.
Stacey also took to her Instagram story to add: ‘Sorry I’ve been so quiet… But we have something we are excited to share with you… I feel nervous for so many reasons.’
She then posted a video of a negative pregnancy test as well as a form reading ‘complete miscarriage’, adding: ‘For a really long time we have been trying for another pickle… It didn’t work out and this was our news quite a few times…

We decided we were so lucky already to have our boys. It is our biggest privilege in life and we are so grateful to be parents so we stopped trying and counted ourselves so so so blessed already…’

The couple told their children that they were expecting a new baby. The family was busy making a playhouse in the garden. The children were all working together to finish the playhouse in the garden of their new home, which they called 'Pickle Cottage.
As well as their son Rex, Stacey and Joe share a baby daughter called Poppy. In addition to her own two sons, Stacey has two older children from previous relationships — a boy named Cosmo and a girl named Honey. Meanwhile, Joe has a teenaged son called Harry, who lives with his mother Emma Sophocleous.
