Fans are convinced Stacey Solomon secretly welcomed her baby on her 32nd birthday.
The Loose Women panelist, who is expecting her fourth child, celebrated her birthday on Monday, October 4.
The former X Factor star took to her Instagram Stories on Monday morning to share sweet videos of her three sons bringing her a birthday cake to her in bed, but she then disappeared off the app for the rest of the day.
From approximately 5pm on Monday, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp experienced an outage – which lasted around six hours.
Taking to Twitter, fans speculated Stacey may have given birth during the social media shut down.
One wrote: “The worst about Instagram being down is not knowing if @StaceySolomon is in labour yet!!”
A second fan tweeted: “See if I miss Stacey Solomon going into labour while Instagram is down I will be so mad!!” while a third joked: “Reckon Stacey Solomon has paid for Instagram to go down so she doesn’t have to tell everyone she’s had her baby.”
Oh God!! We will never know if Stacey Solomon goes into Labour!! 🤣😅
