Stacey was later seen some hours later on her sister Jemma’s Instagram page, with the former X Factor star and her sibling enjoying some time at a pumpkin patch with their young children.

However, since Instagram began working once again later that day, Stacey – who is a frequent user – failed to share a post, setting tongues wagging that she had indeed gone into labour.

It came after Stacey took to her Instagram story on Wednesday to share that her pregnancy has lasted for longer than anticipated and that she is unlikely to have another.

Snuggled up in bed in a set of comfy white pajamas, the singer revealed she is in disbelief that she hasn’t given birth to her baby daughter, but is making the most of every second because she’s ‘not gonna do it again’.

The Loose Women panelist giddily began, ‘I’m in bed and it’s only half nine but I just can’t stay up anymore.

‘I was just laying here thinking, ‘I can’t believe I’m still pregnant, I really thought I would have had her by now.’

‘But actually this is the first time I’ve been pregnant and not wished the end away.

‘I know I’m not gonna do it again so I’m just trying to hold onto every second. But I was also thinking, ‘I’ve got to get her here now. I’ve got to push her out.’
