Stacey Solomon has spent the past few weeks using various different tricks to conceal her growing baby bump until she was ready to announce the pregnancy.
The TV star, 33, has announced that she is pregnant with her fifth child, and third with husband ex-EastEnders actor Joe Swash.
Sharing the happy news on Instagram, Stacey posted a video clip of herself showing Joe, 40, the positive pregnancy test.
Captioning the sweet clip, she wrote: "So grateful & can not believe I’m saying this… Another little pickle is on the way… A HUGE surprise, but one that we are so thankful for. To the moon & back bub @realjoeswashy"
Prior to sharing her exciting news, Stacey had shared a number of snaps and video clips during the Christmas, but had strategically hidden her bump in each of these.
The crafting queen recently shared her 2022 Christmas Card photo to her Instagram page, in which she posed with her children Rex and Rose and two of their pooches.
However, following the pregnancy news, eagle-eyed fans may be quick to notice the strategic placement of both the children and dogs, all of whom manage to block Stacey's stomach from shot.
And when sharing snaps of her family's first snow day at their home Pickle Cottage, she used a sled to hide her bump, while also wearing a baggy jumper in any full-body shots.
Stacey once again used a sleigh to hide her bump in a clip showing off the transition between Halloween and Christmas at Pickle Cottage, as the spooky decor got replaced by something a bit more festive for the Christmas period.
The pregnancy announcement comes just days after Stacey said that she and Joe are are "like ships passing in the night" as they don't get a lot of time just to themselves as they balance their busy careers and home life.
Discussing balancing her family and work life, Stacey told MailOnline: "Joe and I can be like ships passing in the night… When I work he looks after the kids, and when he works I have the kids.
"We’re very different people but when we strip everything back, what it all comes down to is our family."
The happy couple married earlier this year in a ceremony at their home Pickle Cottage, and share son Rex, three, and daughter Rose, 14 months.
Stacey also has two older sons from previous relationships; Leighton, 10, who she shares with ex Aaron Barnham, and Zach, 14, whose father is Dean Cox.
While Joe shares his oldest child Harry, 13, with ex Emma Sophocleous.
