She was asked: ‘Are you finished with having babies or would you like more.’

Posting a video of her two youngest children Rose and Belle playing with their toys, Stacey admitted she would never rule out the idea of more kids.

She wrote: ‘I can honestly say. My favourite thing in the whole wide world is being a mum. I just get so much joy from watching our little ones grow & getting to be a part of their world.

‘I would love more. Whatever will be will be. But omg I love them (Joe will be off to get a vasectomy when he sees this).’

The Loose Women star took to social media on Sunday to reveal she had been struck down by an infection while on her trip

‘I have finally come downstairs, it sounds ridiculous but I have felt so rough. I woke up this morning and it was such a nice feeling…

‘I felt a little bit normal, it’s all I needed, a little bit more human. I don’t know how long it’ll last so I’m making the most of it. Happy Wednesday. Love you all.’

It comes after Stacey said she would be taking things easy for a while after her hospital experience ‘scared’ her.

She had jetted off to the Caribbean with 20 of her family members for a festive break, joined by her husband Joe Swash , their children, Stacey’s sister Jemma, her dad David and her nieces and nephews.

However, on the day before their flight back home, the mother-of-five fell ill suddenly and her condition only got worse through the evening.

She explained: ‘We had the worst exit from Jamaica of all time. And I can’t even like get over it. Because it doesn’t feel real in my head. And today’s the first day, I felt like I’m walking around the house and feel normal.’

She recalled: ‘But anyway, cut a long story short on the day before we were travelling home, I started to feel a little bit ‘flu-ey’ so I was like oh I’m getting that flu that everyone’s got. Annoying. That’s alright, we’re going home tomorrow, so I’ll just get through it, get over it and carry on.

‘So I carried on and as the day went on it just got worse and worse. So I was like, “You know what Joe, you take the kids to dinner, I’m just going to go to bed. I don’t feel great, I need to sleep this off.”

‘And then he got back from dinner, took one look at me and rang my sister and my mum because he was like she looks a mess. He was like you were sweating and laying there and I was like, “Oh my god”.

‘So my sister comes into the room and I know it’s serious when my sister comes in. Because she’s a nurse she’s very much like you’re fine unless you’re not fine and then she’ll be like hold on a second.

‘So she came in and was like, “We need to sit you up, cool you down, get you some paracetamol”. Did all her nursing stuff and every time she checked my temperature, all I remember was her not saying anything and I was like, “Jemma what’s happening?” And she was like, “No it’s okay!”

‘But it weren’t. Because afterwards she told me my temperature was going up and not coming down and that is not a good sign.’

Stacey continued: ‘So they called the medical team inside the hotel and the nurse came down and took one look at me and put an oxygen mask on.

‘And then she was covering me in wet towels and my temperature was still too high so she literally said she needs to get to the hospital and get some IV antibiotics and fluids in her and tests.’

She began laughing as she concluded: ‘So yeah I ended up in hospital in Jamaica. I don’t know why I’m laughing but it doesn’t feel real. Do you ever have an experience where you’re like, did that even happen to me?

‘I was perfectly normal, like absolutely fine one minute and then next minute, I’m not joking I was in hospital on an IV drip with an oxygen mask on! I’ve never had a oxygen mask in my life. I’m so dry from everything and I just feel so gross.’

She thanked her followers for messaging her and checking in during her absence and admitted that the experience had ‘scared’ her so she was going to take it easy for the next few days

She later went on her Stories again to reveal it had been an infection, but that she was feeling better with the antibiotics and shared a photo of herself resting with her two dogs, Teddy and Peanut, on her lap

Stacey went on: ‘So anyway the IV and everything went in and I did start to feel instantly so much better. Still rough as hell but way better than what I was.

‘We were there from the night before we were meant to leave until the morning and I was obviously like, “Please let me go home, I don’t want to stay here on my own when I’m not well, just let me get home.”

‘And they got me to a point where they were happy for me to fly home. So I did the flight home. Poor Joe had all the kids for 10 hours!

‘And I literally went to sleep as soon as I got home and today is the first day I’ve started to feel like a normal human again.’

She then added: ‘I just wanted to update you and I think I’m just going to really listen to my body because I’m one of those people that’s like it’s fine and then I end up in hospital in Jamaica.

‘So I’m not going to do that, I’m going to listen to my body and let myself get well and I’ll just have to have Christmas decorations up by February. I’ll be that weirdo!’
