Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash Return for Third Season of Reality Series
The celebrity couple opens up their home life and parenting journey as they return to BBC One for the latest installment of Stacey & Joe.
Television personalities Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have returned to BBC One for the third season of their fly-on-the-wall reality television series, Stacey & Joe. The program invites cameras back into the couple's family life to offer viewers a look at their daily routines, busy schedules, and parenting dynamics.
During the first episode of the new season, which coincides with preparations to leave their Essex home known as Pickle Cottage after five years, the couple celebrated their youngest son Rex's birthday. In the episode, Solomon opened up about the current state of their relationship while managing a bustling household with multiple children.
"I do think we are in peak parenthood," Solomon explained during the broadcast. "I know people say, like, 'you should always work on your marriage,' and blah blah blah, but right now I feel like we're working on parenthood. Like we're happy, we're good, we're just getting through it." Swash nodded in agreement with the sentiment.
The couple shares a blended family consisting of six children between them. Their children include Harry, Zachary, Leighton, Rex, Rose, and Belle. While several of the children frequently appear in family projects and television broadcasts, their eldest son Harry has chosen to remain out of the public spotlight.
Aside from the family's domestic life, the latest season captures Swash taking steps toward a long-held ambition of establishing his own fishing lake and glamping business. The transition marks a new chapter for the family as they move away from the property where they spent several years.
Swash first rose to prominence as an actor portraying Mickey Miller on the BBC soap opera EastEnders from 2003 to 2008. Over the years, he has transitioned into television presenting and shared personal details about his life, including his diagnoses with ADHD and dyslexia, as well as overcoming a severe health battle with meningitis and encephalitis in 2005.
The family's reality series airs on Tuesday evenings on BBC One and is made available for streaming on BBC iPlayer.
