STACEY Solomon has delighted fans by announcing that her “crazy family” is now even bigger.
The Sort Your Life Out host admitted that she’s always dreamed of making Pickle Cottage a home for some “little feathered friends“.
So when the opportunity arose to take on her friend Luisa Zissman‘s hatchlings, Stacey jumped at it.
In a post on her Instagram Stories, Stacey wrote: “We’ve always felt so privileged to have our garden…
“And we’ve always said if the chance ever presented itself and it was right and we had what they needed, we’d love to make it home for little feathered friends.”
She then posted a video showing the two new ducks outside the front gate, as well as getting to know the family – cuddling up with Stacey and husband Joe Swash’s kids Rex and Rose.
“Welcome To Pickle Cottage, Little Ones!” Stacey wrote alongside the video.
“We are so excited to love you & we hope you love living here & being a part of our crazy family.
“We have no idea what to call our new babies yet, so any suggestions welcome.
“Honestly wanted to make our garden home to ducklings for so long so thank you @luisazissman from giving us the opportunity to raise your hatchlings.”
“Ahhhhh, you’re welcome Stacey – they are going to be very loved little babies!” Luisa responded.
And other people were quick to comment on the video, with many offering their name suggestions.
“Pickle and Onion!” one person wrote, while another suggested “rhubarb and custard”.
“That’s just fabulous. You should let the kids name them,” a third commented.
“Think you should definitely call one pickle. I love the idea of them pottering around the garden!”
“Prepare for the emotional roller coaster, you won’t believe how much you will adore them, laugh, cry and squeal at their daily antics,” someone else wrote.
“We used to have pet ducks when I was little and they are one of the fondest memories I have of my childhood,” another added.
As someone else said: “Oh my days, they are sweetest!
“They are going to live their best life at Pickle Cottage!”
Stacey also shared a picture of herself holding the ducklings while posing alongside Luisa, as she wrote: “Thank you for all of your lovely messages.
“So excited to become a duck mum.
“Hope I’m as good a Mumma as you @luisazissman!”
