The Loose Women host is pregnant with her fourth child – her second with fiancé Joe Swash and her first daughter – and has grown some hair on her stomach while expecting.

Instead of shying away from it, the former X Factor star proudly bared her furry tummy on Instagram Stories for all to see, which prompted an outpouring of messages from her followers.

Stacey was left emotional after an outpouring of messages from her followers

Stacey was in turn inspired by the many messages she received from her followers and took to her grid to share an inspiring love letter to her bump. Posting a snap of herself cradling her bump as she beamed at the camera, she wrote: "Love you Bump. I love your furriness, your glittery stretch marks and my scar you've managed to stretch into a baby bun bun.

"I just know when this is all over I'll be so sad to see you slowly go down, and I'm just so grateful for everything you're doing right now. All to make our little girl… And to you in there little one… You are enough.

She concluded her post: "Everything about you is who you are and that is more than enough. It always will be. No matter what the world leads you to believe. Never forget it. I love you to the moon and stars and back again."
