Stacey Solomon is returning to Loose Women today following her maternity leave.
The 32 year old presenter took a break from the ITV daytime show in October after welcoming her daughter Rose with fiancé Joe Swash.
And while Stacey, who recently enjoyed a catch up with her co-stars Nadia Sawalha and Linda Robson, is no doubt excited about her return, a source has told OK! she’s feeling “anxious” as she’s loved spending time at home with her baby girl.
"Stacey is feeling anxious about returning to Loose Women today,” the source said.
“She absolutely loves Loose Women and loves working, but she adores being at home with her family and being with little Rose.
“Her maternity leave has gone really quickly. She knows she has to return at some point and she's excited to see the girls back at Loose Women.”
The source added: “But it is pulling on her heartstrings a bit that her maternity leave is over. She'll be putting on a brave face today."
Stacey, who also shares two year old son Rex with Joe, 40, and is mum to Leighton, nine, and Zachary, 13, from previous relationships, will be bringing little Rose into the studio with her.
During last week’s episode, Kaye Adams revealed: “We've got a real treat for you next week when Stacey comes back to the show after maternity leave.
Adding that everyone will be able to meet Rose, she said: “Cannot wait to see her.”
Prepping for her return, Stacey took to Instagram last night to joke about her "mutant hair legs".

Sharing a video of herself in the bath, she said: "Had to shave my legs for my first day back at Loose Women tomorrow and Joe's not happy I found his new razor."
She then confessed: "The truth is I do have mutant super strength leg hairs and the razor will be blunt by the end of it."
During her time off, Stacey has mostly been busy at her home – Pickle Cottage – as she oversees renovations.
She was also recently announced as the new co-host of Bake Off: The Professionals, replacing comedian Tom Allen.
The news was confirmed on the GBBO's official Twitter account after Stacey teased that she'd been filming something away from her home.
The tweet read: “Choux la la! We're chuffed to announce that @StaceySolomon will be joining @LiamCBakes, @BenoitBlin_MCA and @Cherish_Finden for the next series of Bake Off: The Professionals.
"Welcome to the petit fours-ome, Stacey! #GBBO."
