Stacey Solomon has said she cut short the 30th birthday trip planned for her by partner Joe Swash because she was missing her children too much.

The Loose Women star celebrated the milestone this week and shared a video clip of Swash whisking her away to Belgium for a special break.

But she has now said they decided to come home to see their baby son Rex and Solomon’s two boys from previous relationships, Zachary and Leighton.

There’s no place I’d rather be 😊 Thank you so much for all of my lovely birthday messages. We didn’t last long in Brussels because I just couldn’t stand to be away from these guys 😍 Joe and me had a lovely time, we laughed, ate with two hands and slept A LOT 😂 It was so nice to be together for a good few hours but it wasn’t long before we were both lying in bed checking out the quickest route home 😂 Thank you @realjoeswashy for all of the heart and effort you put in to my special day. I love you. 💜

Realised I haven’t posted a picture of Joe and me on our own since before Rex was born 😱 I think it’s a combination of loving a family picture and momentary dislike for each other 😂 All jokes aside, I take the Mickey out of him a LOT and moan at him MOST days but I bloody love this man he brings me endless hours of laughter both with and at him, he loves me so much it makes my stomach happy and he is the best father and male role model I could ever wish for. So I forced him outside with me to sit on a soggy hay bale so I could get a picture with him in front of the autumn door to show my appreciation 😂 I do love you @realjoeswashy very much 🖤
