In a video of her breastfeeding, the 32-year-old explains why she can’t take longer off work, with most working mothers choosing a minimum of six months.

She said: “I know it’s not long enough. I could stay in this bubble forever.

“But I have one of those weird jobs where you never know if you’ll get the job and there’s no guarantee so you just have to make the most of every opportunity that comes up.

“Also, a lot of my contracts that are twelve-month contracts have been squeezed down to nine months so I can have three months off, and I don’t think I can tighten them any further.

“So I start back next week.”

Stacey said she is starting to return to work with a photo session, modeling clothes for an online brand and she will bring baby Rose with her.

She added: “In the end, I’m so lucky and privileged to be back in a job that I love. And I’m incredibly lucky, all the companies I work for support me because I’ve been there. say I don’t want to give up my breastfeeding.”

Stacey admitted she was “so sad” her maternity leave was coming to an end as she celebrated Rose’s three-month-old last week.

Speaking while doing some household chores, the star said: “Honestly, I can barely do anything because I just want to play with her.”

“I love my job so much but oh my gosh I’m so sad my maternity leave is coming to an end. I’m so nervous to come back.”
