TV favourite Stacey Solomon admitted she was terrified of the cost of living crisis prior to announcing her pregnancy.
The Loose Women panellist has previously revealed her financial fears due to the cost of living crisis, just months before making her pregnancy with her fifth child public.

In an interview with The Guardian , Stacey candidly chatted about her fears regarding the UK’s current cost of living and even aired her thoughts on politics.
The star, who rose to fame whilst competing on the X factor and then I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, made her feelings clear when asked about the topic, describing it as “terrifying”.
She went on to say: “If our energy bill doubles, then it might well be beyond our means in the future.
“I’m not saying it is the same for us as someone on the breadline, ’cos it blooming well isn’t.
“But it’s such a scary time. How have we allowed the country to get to this point? How can the government not be prepared for it?”
The former X Factor contestant also opened up about her thoughts on politics, explaining: “That’s where I don’t feel political at all. It’s all about: Are you Labour, Tory or Lib Dem? For me it’s not about any of those things.
“It’s about what you want for this country and the people in it.”
Stacey, who announced her pregnancy just yesterday, is welcoming her third child with husband and former EastEnders actor Joe Swash, after tying the knot in July.
The couple already share six children between them, with Stacey having two older children, Zach, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships as well as Rex, 3, and Rose with husband Joe.
Joe also has son Harry, 15, from his previous engagement.
The growing family reside in a £1.2 million mansion in Essex, dubbed Pickle Cottage, that boasts 2 acres of land, a huge home office for Stacey and a Cluedo themed games room.
Despite previously stating her youngest, Rose, would be her last child, Stacey announced her pregnancy via social media yesterday, which was met by a questionable response from her Loose Women co-hosts, who were accused of snubbing the news.
