Stacey donned a pink tracksuit in the video while discussing baby names, and admitted she likes “floral” names, while Joe likes more “traditional” names.

She said: “Send help! We literally have no names. We had so many children that we ran out of names. Joe likes Betty… or Arthur. But I don’t know, I really don’t know.’

The TV presenter added: “Any name suggestions are welcome. Joe likes old-fashioned names, I’m floral or Hebrew.’

It comes after Stacey, who is now eight months pregnant, announced on Instagram on Wednesday that she is expecting baby number five and her third child with husband Joe.

While explaining the reason she kept it a secret, she said, “We really wanted it to ourselves for a start, but we missed the start if that makes sense.

“We didn’t have to keep it a secret for eight months because we didn’t know for eight months.

“My periods were irregular from breastfeeding, we planned a wedding, then we got married and then just crazy life and it honestly didn’t register.”

She captured the moment as she shared the news to her boyfriend, who was overcome with emotion.

Stacey told her 5.4million followers it was a “big surprise” but was happy to welcome “another little cucumber” — her cute nickname for her kids.

Stacey was filming calling Joe into the bathroom to show him the positive pregnancy test.

“That’s the best news, Bubba,” Joe said as the pair snuggled and kissed while reveling in the happy news.

Joe then proudly held the test up for the camera as he planted a big kiss on Stacey’s bright cheek.
