STACEY Solomon has revealed the real reason she kept her pregnancy secret was because she didn’t know herself.
The 33-year-old, who is already eight months along, addressed speculation in a Q&A this evening and explained how the fact she was pregnant “just didn’t register”.
Stacey told her followers: “We really wanted it to ourselves for the beginning bit, but we missed the beginning bit if that makes sense.
“We didn’t have to keep it a secret for 8 months because we didn’t know for 8 months.
“My periods were irregular from breastfeeding, we were planning a wedding then getting married, and then just crazy life and it honestly didn’t register.”

The Loose Women star was quickly inundated with more messages as many assumed she meant she had only just found out.
She told them: “Just to clarify. We didn’t just find out at 8 months.
“We found out, then waited that first few months you usually would have it to ourselves and now we are here.”
Stacey, and Joe, 40, announced they are expecting their third child together earlier this week.
She later left fans gobsmacked as she revealed her bump and revealed she was due to give birth this month.
The exciting baby news makes the fast-growing Solomon-Swashes even bigger, with seven members of the family.
Stacey already has son Rex, three, and daughter Rose, one, with Joe, who himself has a teenage son called Harry.
The TV and Instagram star also has two older children from previous relationships.
Zachary, 14, is Stacey's first son from her relationship with Dean Cox, and she had him when she was 17.
