‘Mummy!’ Adorable moment Stacey Solomon’s son Rex recognises star on shop poster

Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon’s youngest son Rex was shocked to find a giant photograph of his mum looking back at him from the window of a Primark.

Joe took to Instagram yesterday to share an adorable clip of Rex running up to a shop window and pressing his face to the glass to get a better look as he recognised his mum in the giant poster.

Rex, Stacey and older brother Leighton all feature in the photo, part of a series to launch Stacey’s new Primark collection of clothing and homeware.

Thinking she was in the shop, the two-year-old cried ‘Mummy!’ as he ran up to the glass, and dad Joe had to tell him ‘Mummy’s not behind the window!’

Sharing the cute video to Instagram stories and tagging Stacey, Joe wrote: ‘Look who we found on our way to the shop mummy’!

‘Love you bubs. So special.’

Stacey herself then shared the clip and added her own, crying-emoji-filled caption explaining it was her first time seeing the photoshoot.

The photo launch was delayed, she explained, and when it eventually landed she was busy with couple’s newborn daughter Rose.

‘I asked Joe to look out for them at the shops today and they found them,’ she wrote, adding ‘Love you @realjoeswashy’.

As a bonus – both for Stacey and the couple’s huge following – Joe took a snap of Rex and Leighton posing outside the Primark, their cute photoshoot with Stacey visible from inside and Rex wearing the very same outfit.

He captioned it: ‘Well done mummy… we are so proud of you…’

Joe then joked: ‘Sorry I can’t take a picture like you! How do you get them to sit still and smile? What the hell are you bribing them with’!

The Solomon-Swash family have been sharing regular updates of their lives since they were joined by newborn Rose Opal Esme, the couple’s second child together and first daughter.

Stacey has two sons, Leighton, nine, and Zachary, 13, from a previous relationship, while Joe has a 13-year-old son, Harry.

The proud dad recently told his followers last week that he was having ‘the best week of [his] life’ since baby Rose was born.

‘It’s just been so amazing to do this all again,’ he said in a sweet update. ‘And to see the boys fall in love with their sister. Our daughter.

‘Still doesn’t feel real.’

In a slightly less touching post, the actor later shared a photograph of the mother and daughter asleep together, admitting he couldn’t stop laughing as the newborn slept exactly like her mum: with her mouth wide open.
