Looking out at the sprawling countryside viewers from her home, Pickle Cottage, the 32-year-old lifted her glass cup to show her morning cuppa.

But she was soon receiving messages over her dark-looking morning drink and decided to defend herself.

"It's not my fault my tea looks gross," she said in a video on her Instagram Story. "There was none of my good teabags left and some people don't like to do a food shop."

And she made it clear she was talking about her fiance Joe Swash who was sat behind her in their home with their baby daughter, Rose.

"Many of you are like: 'Welcome back Stace. Why does your tea look so disgusting?'" the mum-of-four explained

Stacey is due to make her TV return this week as she heads back to the Loose Women panel following her maternity leave.
