She said: “Nope (laughing emoji).
“There is a delay with the cover and also the tiling took longer (crying emoji.)
“So it will be ready to fill next week but only if the safety cover arrives because I just won’t fill it before then.
“But Leighton is so excited and we just said we will have his party next week or the week after.”
The Tap to Tidy star said last year that she was suffering a "nightmare" trying to get the pool done before she welcomed baby Rose.
At the time, however, it was ultimately left unfinished.
In a story from two weeks ago, the star provided an update as she admitted she's embarrassed to show her swimming pool.
Stacey wrote: "So many of you asking to see the tiles.
