In a short clip shared on her social media, Stacey shared a variety of flashback snapshots, including a look back at her X-Factor audition, which she dedicated to her one-year-old son.

Finally, Stacey concluded the video with a short clip of her hugging her son on his birthday, surrounded by an abundance of gifts and balloons.

Captioning the post, she wrote: ‘Look how far we’ve come my baby.

’15 wonderful years of yours Zachy. Thanks for everything Zach. You are all our rock.

‘I can’t even believe how quickly he’s gone and what a kind and caring young man you’ve become. I am so proud of you. To the moon and back forever, my dear.

It comes after Stacey revealed she was put on trial for being a single teen mom, but “couldn’t be more proud” now of her “great achievements.”

The television personality celebrated Mother’s Day on Sunday by sharing a thoughtful post on Instagram.

He shared an abundance of instant candy with his five children: Zachary, Leighton, Rex, Rose, and Belle.

At one point, Stacey smiled as she cradled month-old Belle, while another included her husband Joe Swash.

Alongside the photos, she wrote: ‘I have been a mother since I was 17 years old. I barely remember life before I became a mom. I remember all the looks I got and all the things people said when they saw a ‘child raising a child’.

‘I can’t believe I’m a mom of 5 now. And all I can say is that none of those judgments or opinions back then were true. No matter how real they felt, I look at each one of them now and I have never felt so proud.

‘They are the kindest, most amazing people and I was a part of that. Zachy, Leight, Rex, Rose, Belle, you are all my greatest blessings. My greatest achievements. Each of you has made me who I am. I am very thankful for all of you. And it is the greatest privilege to raise them all.

She said goodbye saying: ‘Forever my little pickles. To the moon and always back. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. Sending lots of love to all of you who are finding today extremely difficult’

Baby Belle was born in February after Loose Women panelist and partner Joe Swash, 41, announced the surprise pregnancy in December.

On Monday, the star admitted she was feeling proud of herself after tackling a busy day alone with her five children.

Stacey shared a series of sweet photos of her and the kids after a busy day of school runs, swimming lessons, and baby groups.

‘Proud. I feel like I crushed him today. I don’t care if I sound like a braggart but today I felt like a superhuman,” wrote a smiling Stacey.

She explained that she hasn’t been feeling her best in recent weeks, writing: “For some reason lately I find it easy to tell myself I’m failing or doing a bad job and never tell myself how well I’m doing.” ‘

He decided to change his mind and share his achievements, as he admitted that ‘three under 3s and two teenagers is wonderful, but it’s not easy’.

Stacey explained how her day got off to a great start when her husband, Joe Swash, took over one of baby Belle’s late-night meals before she left for work.

“We did the school runs and then I managed to get there for the first time at Rhyme time in the library with Rex, Rose and Belle,” Stacey continued.

“I spent some time with other moms and it felt great to see Rex and Belle enjoying being out and about.” Then we stayed outside for as long as we could, came home, played in the play dough shops, made a tuna pasta dinner, and tonight was a swimming lesson for Rexy.

“Now we’re home and I’m ready to collapse on the couch and start the group broadcasts.”

‘Sorry about the essay. but basically just a little reminder that you’re doing amazing, even when you feel like you’re not. You are so amazing that you don’t forget to tell yourself sometimes.

The Loose Women star added that she was spending the night trying to plan a last-minute family vacation over the Easter holidays.

“Aimlessly looking for somewhere to take the kids before filming again,” he explained of his impending return to work.

Many of you ask if the idea of ​​taking them all is daunting. Definitely yes, but I think now is the best time before Bella runs and Joe and I chase the three little ones and get outnumbered,” the busy mom later explained.
