Getting a few euro from the Tooth Fairy under your pillow every time you lose a tooth is a right of passage for children growing up, and Stacey Solomon has doubled down on just how important it is to little girls and boys.

When she accidentally lost her five-year-old son Rex’s tooth, the presenter narrowly avoided disaster by coming up with a very creative solution.

Famous for her clever arts and crafts projects, Stacey put her artistic side to the test when she discovered that Rex’s front baby tooth was missing.

As the doting mum couldn’t break the news to her little boy who was eagerly anticipating the arrival of the beloved Tooth Fairy, she decided to make a fake tooth out of clay.

‘Rex’s front tooth fell out this morning & we’ve misplaced it. So I’m currently trying to make one out of air dry clay’, the mum-of-five explained.

‘I’m debating wether to add something that looks like gums’, she quipped.

Delighted that her plan turned out to be a success, Stacey, who shares three children with her husband Joe Swash, Rex, Belle, and Rose and two sons, Zach and Leighton, from previous relationships announced later on: ‘We pulled it off – a very happy Rex’.

Alongside a very happy snap of her adorable son, the Sort Your Life host concluded: ‘Ready for the tooth fairy to take her clay tooth eve. Night everyone’.
