Joe Swash was left baffled after he and girlfriend Stacey Solomon were confused for US power couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

Swash and Solomon announced the news that they are expecting their first child together on Friday morning, with one publication making an awkward mistake with their reporting of the news.

One publication posted the announcement alongside a picture of West and Kardashian.

Swash shared a screenshot of the gaffe on Instagram alongside the caption: “I can’t put my finger on it!! This don’t seem right? Lol.”

One fan joked: “Is that the latest stories filter?”

Another posted: “You’re the kimye of England only better (sic).”

A third wrote: “Now that confused me, you two had a lot of surgery.”

Swash broke the news of the pregnancy after telling fans that he feared Solomon had grown tired of him because she was always sleeping, before learning that she was “growing a baby”.

“I can’t begin to describe how happy we are to be able to share this wonderful news,” he wrote. “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.”

Solomon posted a short message, telling fans she was too emotional to think of anything else to say.

“Every time I go to write anything I sob so... what he said,” she wrote.

Swash, who joked he knew he had it in him to make another baby, later posted a short video of Solomon’s baby bump surrounded by a border of red hearts.

Swash and Solomon recently moved in together after dating for two years.

They spent their first Christmas in their new home with Solomon’s sons Zachary, 10, and Leighton, six. Swash also has son Harry with his ex.
