2019 is looking to be an incredible year for former X Factor star Stacey Solomon. Not only is she expecting her first baby with her boyfriend Joe Swash, the Loose Women star has now landed herself a job on hit show Celebrity Juice.

Stacey, who announced she was pregnant last week, will appear on the new series of Celebrity Juice as a series regular, whilst Paddy McGuinness will be the new team captain in place of Fearne Cotton.

Speaking of her new role, Stacey said, “I’m so bloomin’ excited to be joining the Juice family. I have loved the show since it began and always enjoyed being a guest so to get to be part of the furniture is a dream come true. So here goes nothing. Wahoo.”

Meanwhile, new team captain Paddy said, “I was a guest on the first ever episode and I’ve done every series since so I’ve always felt like part of the Juice family. Keith’s one of my best mates, I love Holly and we all have a natural rapport. I’m looking forward to the chaos!”

Fans of the show will get to see the new line-up when Celebrity Juice returns in March, with host Keith Lemon and team captain Holly Willoughby.

Other celebrity panellists across the new series include Amanda Holden, Emily Atack, Will Mellor and Johnny Vegas.

Meanwhile, the news of Stacey's new appointment comes just days after she announced she was pregnant with her third child, her first with her boyfriend Joe Swash. Sharing a photo of his girlfriend sleeping, Joe wrote, 'Have been driving myself mad thinking that she’s bored senseless of me and can’t stand to be awake for longer than 10 minutes of my company... So you can imagine my delight to find out that she still loves me and my company very much she’s just been growing a baby.

He continued, 'I can’t begin to describe how happy we are to be able to share this wonderful news. We’ve been so blessed with 3 incredible children that we’ve had the privilege of raising and we are forever grateful to have the chance to become parents to another wonderful child. It’s all very overwhelming and emotional and we couldn’t be happier right now.' sic

The happy couple then appeared on Loose Women, where Stacey broke down in tears of joy about her pregnancy.
