Stacey Solomon has issued an update after returning home from a luxury trip to Jamaica.
Stacey and her husband Joe Swash jetted off to the Caribbean island with their kids in tow, and have been documenting their trip on social media.
Stacey's dad, her sister Jemma, and her nieces and nephews also joined them on the trip.

While the family looked like they were having the best time, their holiday came to an unfortunate end as mum-of-five Stacey was admitted to hospital.
Now back in the UK, the Loose Women favourite took to her Instagram Story to give an update to her fans.
"We had the worst exit from Jamaica of all time," Stacey began.
"And I can't even like get over it. Because it doesn't feel real in my head. And today's the first day, I felt like I'm walking around the house and feel normal."
The 34-year-old went on: "Cut a long story shot on the say before we were travelling home, I started to feel a little bit 'flu-ey' so I was like oh I'm getting that flu that everyone's got. Annoying.
"That's alright, we're going home tomorrow, so I'll just through it, get over it and carry on.
"So I carried on and as the day went on it just got worse and worse. So I was like, 'You know what Joe, you take the kids to dinner, I'm just going to go to bed. I don't feel great, I need to sleep this off'."
But Joe became concerned about his wife when he returned to the room, calling in her sister Jemma, a nurse, to check her over.
"[Jemma] came in and was like, 'We need to sit you up, cool you down, get you some paracetamol'. Did all her nursing stuff and every time she checked my temperature, all I remember was her not saying anything," Stacey recalled.
When she asked her sibling what was going on, Jemma remained shtum.
Concerned about her increasing temperature, the hotel's medical team also came to help Stacey and, despite their efforts to cool her down, it wasn't working.
They then urged that the TV star be taken to hospital to get an IV drip and antibiotics.
Stacey continued: "I was perfectly normal, like absolutely fine one minute and then next minute, I'm not joking I was in hospital on an IV drip with an oxygen mask on!
"I've never had a oxygen mask in my life. I'm so dry from everything and I just feel so gross."
She didn't share what exactly doctors believed to have been wrong with her, but the busy mum appears to be on the mend.
"Today is the first day I've started to feel like a normal human again," Stacey told her 5.8 million followers.
Get well soon, Stacey!
