About this deal

The next big milestone in this relationship came in 2019 when they announced their pregnancy! Joe first announced it by sharing a series of photos of Stacey napping with the caption, 'Have been driving myself mad thinking that she's bored senseless of me and can't stand to be awake for longer than 10 minutes of my company... So you can imagine my delight to find out that she still loves me and my company very much she's just been growing a baby. When you’re growing up you feel invincible: you’re never going to die, the world is your oyster. Once you’ve given birth that mentality changes. There’s this huge weight on your shoulders because somebody solely depends on you to survive The Loose Women panellist and host of BBC One's Sort Your Life Out, who recently tied the knot to Joe Swash with a ceremony in their garden, says: 'This book is for you to use as a guide, as inspiration, or even just to read without any pressure to do anything at all! Grab a cuppa and dip in and out of it at leisure.

Cheesy as it sounds I’ve learned so much along the way and things I wished I’d know before I started, but most importantly doing as much as I could myself has given me the most strong sense of self & made me feel like I can achieve anything I put my mind to. If our energy bill doubles, then it might well be beyond our means in the future. I’m not saying it is the same for us as someone on the breadline, ‘cos it blooming well isn’t. But it’s such a scary time. How have we allowed Britain to get to this point? Stacey's new book is due to come out on 29 September this year. The star hopes her novel will inspire readers to carry out their own home renovations too. Stacey has glass bottles for her washing tabs and fabric softener. She has specially marked glass trays to separate the items in her fridge. She bought mason jars to put her craft kit in and labelled them. She unveiled tray things that make a shelf under a shelf just for like, her different types of Sellotape or batteries or something. It’s wild.SO I’ve documented EVERYTHING. Written every little moment down and all of the things I’ve learned so far so that I can share those feelings 🖤. Each chapter is dedicated to a room in the house and shows readers how she transformed each room herself. Each chapter will also include a combination of hero projects (big renovation or organisational projects)

Solomon returned to college and took Zach with her. She felt people regarded her with pity, at best. “They would say: ‘It’s a shame you won’t be able to fulfil your ambitions because you’ve got somebody else who relies on you now.’ I was a kid with a kid and that wasn’t appealing to anybody.” Did she think she would never get another boyfriend? “I didn’t want another boyfriend!” She gurgle-giggles. “If this is the result of relationships, I’m out!” The cost of living crisis? Terrifying, she says – even for her and Joe, despite the fact that they are doing well at the moment. “If our energy bill doubles, then it might well be beyond our means in the future. I’m not saying it is the same for us as someone on the breadline, ’cos it blooming well isn’t. But it’s such a scary time. How have we allowed the country to get to this point? How can the government not be prepared for it?” The clip has received over 1m views and more than 5k comments on the platform. Especially after Stacey included a heartbreaking tribute to her beloved dog Theo who died in December, writing:The home renovations didn’t stop indoors and Stacey videoed herself and helper Rex as they created an outdoor playhouse while also showing off the stunning pool transformation. Then there is the prejudice against positivity. “A happy disposition often makes people think there’s not much going on. For a lot of people, being happy means being dumb or disingenuous. They either think you’re not really that happy or you’re not all there.”

Stacey said, "Joe doesn't often get emotional so there's something really nice about everything he says," with dad-to-be Joe adding, "We feel really blessed. Really excited. I can't wait to see what our little kid's going to look like, can you?" Also included are the kitchen with Stacey showing off how she managed a marble effect on the surfaces and how she painted the cupboards a deep blue. Now we’re on to the royals. It’s a week before Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, and Britain’s patriotic fervour is gathering pace. A Loose Women clip from 2018 recently re-emerged on social media in which Solomon said she didn’t get the point of the royals: how could we elevate one family over any other just by fluke of birth, and why did we pay towards their upkeep when they were already phenomenally rich? The clip went viral just after the queen’s death, and Solomon found herself feted by republicans and lambasted by monarchists. “They’re regurgitating it at the moment, which is really difficult, because obviously I didn’t say it on the queen’s passing.”

Games

We pinch ourselves sometimes’ … Solomon with husband Joe Swash in 2018. Photograph: David M Benett/Getty Images for Primark Stacey goes on to say how they haven't finished yet, but: 'I’m so so proud of how far it’s come along. I’ve loved every single second of it.'

Stacey, is mum to Zachary, 13, Leighton, seven, Rex, two and baby Rose, while Joe has a son, Harry, 14, with his ex, Emma Sophocleous. And she added: We pinch ourselves walking around here sometimes. We can’t believe this is our garden, this is our road. I remember when we moved in I said to my dad: ‘Can we afford it?’, and he said: ‘If you can afford it now and it only lasts you 12 months or two years, go and work your butt off so you can enjoy it for the moment.’” Joe added, "It's brilliant, I'm really chuffed – it's just nice to have the secret out. It's been quiet for so long, we're so excited," as Stacey laughed, "It's been the normal length of time," with Joe agreeing, "But we've had to kind of keep it undercover. But now we can sort of breathe a little bit and let people know."

She claims the clip has been misrepresented. “I have nothing against the monarchy, and the queen seemed like a lovely lady, but I don’t understand why we pay a contribution to one of the wealthiest families in the world.” Solomon says the point she was making was that our priorities were wrong. “Some of our kids weren’t even getting school lunches, and to know a huge amount of money is going to somebody who doesn’t need it, I just couldn’t get my head around that.” As usual, she has a plan. “It would be cool if there was an opt-in opt-out version, and you can opt to give it to somebody else.” We were conscious that it's what we wanted, but we weren't specifically looking at a time for it to happen, so it was a really lovely surprise - he was over the moon and it was just lovely actually." Stacey said, "I'm so elated and excited. We really can't believe we've been privileged to be able to have another child. I forgot who I told and then I was like, 'Who knows this?' We felt it was important to keep it to ourselves until we felt really safe, that was first and foremost. Even when you're ready and you know it's the right time to tell people, you still think, 'Aww, I do just want it to be ours a little longer'." SO i’ve documented EVERYTHING. Written every little moment down and all of the things I’ve learned so far so that I can share those feelings. For anyone who has ever not felt confident enough to go for it themselves, to anyone who doesn’t know where to start and to everyone who deserves to feel like they can do anything the put their mind to too! Speaking out about whether she'd like to have another boy - Stacey and Joe already have three sons between them - or whether she'd like a girl, the former I'm A Celebrity! winner said that she initially thought it would be nice to have a girl before changing her mind.
