We've long thought that Stacey Solomon is an all-round excellent human being, and if we need any further confirmation, we've just got it in the form of her latest Instagram posts: photos of her in a bikini celebrating her pregnant body, stretch marks and all.
Stacey, 29, shared photos of herself on a family holiday with her oldest son Zachary in an orange bikini, describing her stretch marks as "natural glitter".
In one photo, the Loose Women panellist posed with her son, writing: "Spending some time with mummy all to himself before he has to share me three ways. He's been sharing me with his little brother for nearly 7 years and he's been incredible.

In another, she showed off her back and stretchmarks, writing: "I honestly love how much stretch marks shine in the sun! Natural glitter."
