Stacey Solomon, 33, says that her "heart is aching" as she shared a moving post of her children going back to school.
The Loose Women panellist took to Instagram to share an image of her boys, 11-year-old Leighton and four-year-old Rex, as they prepared to go back to school.
Stacey captioned the post: "✏️Time is a thief✏️😭 And Just Like That A Whole new adventure begins, and an old era ends… 🥹
"My darling boys, as you go out into a whole new world, Primary & Secondary school I hope you remember that you are strong, kind, intelligent, caring, young men with all of the love here at home you will ever need. Be yourselves, don’t change for anyone."
The mum-of-five continued: "Stay true to who you are and enjoy those first days, because take it from mum who knows, you’ll blink and it’ll be the last days 🥲 Good luck and have so much fun.
"To the moon and back Rex & Leighton. We love you 🖤 P.S a huge hug to every parent or carer out there not finding days like this easy for many different reasons. I’m with you. My heart is aching. 🖤"
