@Source: mirror.co.uk
Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash fans rejoice - Britain's most beloved couple will be getting their own reality show very soon! From Tuesday April 1, viewers will be able to tune into a six-part series sharing the inside-outs of the popular couple and their home full of kids. As it was filmed during the summer through to autumn last year, the episodes will show their blended family of five children, four ducks and two dogs , along with celebrity parents Stacey and Joe. Both having children from previous relationships, their family includes Joe's 17-year-old son Harry, who visits their home but will not be seen on camera. With an overall brood of six, viewers will have a chance to enter the chaotic life inside their home, Pickle Cottage . Though fans are prone to look to Stacey's socials for tips on maintaining an organised and fun home, this series will expose the couple's home like never before, including their "pickles" - Zach, Leighton, Rex, Rose and Belle who range from toddler Belle to Zachary, who is nearing 17. The show captures huge moments for the family, including Zach's GCSE results, mum Stacey winning at the National Television Awards and a much needed family getaway to Turkey before preparations for the Christmas season. On the series, Stacey said: "[that last year was] the year me and Joe pushed ourselves out of our comfort zones. We took on different projects and tried new things," calling the journey "amazing" but "nerve-wracking all at the same time". After being spotted on the street in November having what appeared to be an intense argument, fans have wondered whether the show will reveal recent marital stresses between the two. Fans witnessed a row between the husband and wife that left Stacey in tears. The person who recognised the couple described Joe, 43, walking angrily away with a vape in hand. Supposedly, a distraught Stacey was left to take comfort from a member of the production and camera crew that was with them. At the time, a source spoke to The Sun, saying that the couple were "such homebodies" but are also unafraid to "not hold back when it comes to showing the highs and lows of family life". After being married for nearly three years, after six years of dating, fans are adamant the pair have since worked through this as the show will be broadcasted in 12 days. After becoming engaged in 2020, the couple faced several setbacks in making their vows due to the COVID pandemic and Stacey's pregnant with their daughter Rose. Finally after six years together, they wed in July 2022 outside Pickle Cottage in a private, intimate wedding of family and friends. Estimated to be worth £1.2million, the Essex mansion has become their "forever home". Solomon first met the ex-EastEnders star Joe Swash back in 2010 when she won I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! An instant hit with the British public since her 2009 audition on The X Factor , Stacey shot to fame with her version of What A Wonderful World and bubbly personality. She was introduced to previous I'm A Celeb winner Joe in Australia as he hosted the ITV2 spin-off during Stacey's coronation as Queen of the Jungle. Though they didn't immediately date, the duo struck up a close friendship - Stacey being in a relationship at the time. Joe later admitted that he fancied the X Factor star, but said the timing wasn't right. Rumours first began flying of the two finally dating in 2016 after her split from Jackass star Steve-O, with the pair confirming shortly after by making their first red carpet appearance as a couple at a Game Of Thrones screening. Solomon later joined her boyfriend to host the I’m A Celeb spin-off that year. In 2017, she spoke to Hello! saying: "It’s going really, really well. I’m so happy. Everyone says we’re made for each other. We are like the same person, we come from really similar backgrounds and we’ve got so much in common. He’s absolutely lovely, I’m so lucky". In 2019, they bought their first house together and on Christmas Eve of 2020, Joe proposed in a romantic woodland setting, having decorated Stacey's "favourite place in the world " with white flowers before asking her to be his wife. Though they have an overall six children , including Joe's son Harry, the couple share three together. They welcomed their first child, son Rex, in May 2019. At the time, Joe announced the birth of his son and gushed about his partner, sharing a picture of Stacey in a hospital bed with their baby, writing: "I’m lost for words to describe how I’m feeling. So for now, I’m going to spend the next few days and the rest of my life falling more in love with these two humans. I didn’t think it possible but, today I witnessed the impossible. My partner, My love, my life, you are a super human. I am forever in awe". In 2021, shortly after moving into Pickle Cottage, the couple announced they were expecting a second child together, welcoming daughter Rose in October 2021, on Stacey's birthday. Stacey posted about her daughter's birth, with a snap of the whole family with their hands on Rose, writing: "She’s Here. Born at Pickle Cottage on mummy’s birthday. Our little girl… Happy birthday my darling daughter… We all love you more than you could ever imagine." Over half six moths after they married , Stacey birthed their youngest child, daughter Belle. Posting the happy update and newest addition to their home, Stacey uploaded an adorable photo of her new-born. She captioned it: "She’s Here. Our beautiful, daughter born at home with all of your brothers and sister ready to snuggle you forever and ever. You literally flew into our world… And none of us can quite believe your thick dark head of hair that we just can’t get over. We can’t believe your here. Welcome to the world beautiful girl, thank you for the last few months in my tummy, we can’t wait to love you forever and ever we are so grateful we get to be your family". Their kids from previous relationships include: Stacey’s two sons, Zachary, 16, from her relationship with Dean Cox; and Leighton, 12, from her relationship with Aaron Barham.; and Joe's son Harry, 17, with former fiancée Emma Sophocleous.
