Joe Swash posts hilarious picture of sleeping Stacey Solomon with newborn son ...

Stacey Solomon has been honest with her struggles about getting enough sleep with a newborn to look after.

And her partner Joe Swash didn't miss the opportunity to capture the funny moment where Stacey finally managed to get some shuteye on Tuesday, with a pillow on her head.

In the Instagram snap, the exhausted mother-of-three caught up on her sleep when she collapsed on the sofa with baby Rex.

He wrote hilariously: 'I promise this photo is 100% NOT set up! This was exactly how I found @staceysolomon when I got back from the gym #well deserved.' (sic)

Obviously amused, Stacey reposted the same image with a commentary about her struggle to sleep through the night thanks to her newborn's wants.

The presenter admitted the day had been a 'total write off' but she insisted she was in dire need of the extra snoozing time.

She elaborated: 'I needed to sleep so badly today but I get sad when I sleep through the day and I wake up and it’s nearly night time! But it’s OK tomorrow is a new day and ill be ready for it, Probably, Maybe, might actually not be though haha! 

'P.S if you think I believe for one second that that pillow just happened to be there - you’re wrong! Ill get you back, right after I get my mind back!'

Joe's hilarious post comes after Stacey documented her night of 'hell' with her newborn son in a video posted on Instagram stories, having woken up to feed him five times before dawn.

In the video, Stacey whispered to fans about a tumultuous night with little Rex, as she showed the struggles to parenting were starting to take their toll.

The new mum told fans: 'Oh my gosh, last night was hell. 11, 12, 1, 3, 4 and 5. How can one baby eat so much so often. I didn't even have time to express in between. Help me.'

And just hours later Stacey posted the grimacing selfie as she was once again hooked up to a breast pump.

She captioned the snap: 'I don't know how much longer I can do this for' alongside lots of sleepy emojis. 

Though hours later it seemed all was well again, as Stacey posted an adorable snap of Rex sleeping soundly in his cot.
