STACEY Solomon and Joe Swash returned to our screens tonight for the second series of their reality TV show – and it didn’t take long for them to butt heads.
Just minutes into the show, the couple erupted into a blazing hot tub row whilst on a romantic getaway.

In the first episode of their new BBC series, Stacey & Joe, the mum-of-five, who got married in 2022 in a beautiful ceremony in the grounds of her home, Pickle Cottage, booked a surprise trip away to celebrate Joe’s 34th birthday.
But while on the “very exciting” and “thoughtful” fishing trip, the Sort Your Life Out star, 35, was left fuming by her husband Joe, 43.
Eager to enjoy some romance in their private hot job, Joe jumped in feet first.
But Stacey, who recently opened up about her “very emotional” morning, was nervous to get in, and anxiously dipped her toe in whilst wearing Joe’s new coat.
Joe clearly wasn’t happy about her wearing his new winter essential, as he warned: “Don’t jump in in my jacket…I just got that jacket.”
To this, Stacey, who shares three kids with Joe – Rex, six, Rose, three, and Belle, two – and is also mum to Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 12, said: “You’re making me panic.”
With his voice increasingly stern, Joe ordered: “Take that jacket off.”
Moments after glugging some alcohol-free champagne, it was time for the couple to call it a night in the hot tub.
But with the Loose Women star reluctant to move, Joe snapped: “Come on then, don’t just sit there.
“I’m not lifting you out like some old lady.
“Get out of the hot tub otherwise I’ll leave you in here.”
After getting himself out, Joe threw the cleanfluencer’s dressing gown down and headed inside, alone.
Stacey Solomon’s career so far
Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers’ screens for over a decade. Let’s take a look back at her career.
The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the ‘Girls’ category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs.
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I’m A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I’m A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash – who’d won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff.
Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019.
Loose Women (2016 – present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012.
Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants’ living spaces after removing clutter.
To this, the furious influencer, who recently revealed that her family has got even bigger as she celebrated the arrival of four new ‘babies’, said: “If you do that Joe, I’m not talking to you. You’re out of order. Fine. Fine.
“I’m not getting out. I’m being so serious. Don’t you leave me.”
Stacey’s ‘health anxiety’ and Joe’s ‘exhaustion’
Later in the episode, the couple butted heads again, after Stacey opened up on feeling “more and more agitated” towards Joe.
Getting candid on her “health anxiety,” Stacey discussed her early menopause fears.
Voicing her concern, Stacey, who lives in a stunning £1.2 million Essex home, expressed: “Agitation…at their spouse…I feel as I get older, I get more and more agitated.
I don’t agree with you. I find that quite offensive. I don’t agree with that
Joe Swash
“I think my anxiety over my health has always been there. When you have kids, you suddenly recognise your mortality and everything feels more urgent for some reason.”
Following this, the EastEnders legend expressed his health concerns, as he acknowledged: “I can’t understand what’s happened to my sleep. I used to sleep so well.
“A year and a half ago, it changed. I’m never going into a deep sleep.”
Inside Stacey Solomon’s Pickle Cottage
STACEY Solomon splashed out a massive £1.2million on Pickle Cottage – and Joe Swash didn’t put in a penny.
She solely stumped up the cash for their Tudor-style Essex property, which is set in 2.5 acres and boasts an outdoor swimming pool.
The former X Factor star and Joe live there with Zachary, Leighton, Rex, Rose, and Belle.
It’s not known why Stacey went alone, as ex-EastEnders actor Joe is reportedly worth over £1million, but has also been made bankrupt twice in 2009 and 2013.
Shrewd Stacey has shown she’s a dab hand at running a wide range of successful businesses including TV, books, clothing and homeware ranges.
Her main firm Key Map Entertainments is worth just shy of £3million – and she’s also branched out into cosmetics.
The former X Factor contestant registered the company Belle & Rose Ltd, named after her youngest two daughters.
But to this, Stacey, who has two dogs – Teddy and Peanut – along with four ducks and four new ducklings, observed: “What happens, in the day, he has lots of little naps, because he’s so exhausted from the night.”
Frustrated by the claims of the busy mum who first rose to fame after appearing on The X Factor, Joe chimed in and said: “Let’s get it straight. I don’t nap every day.
In response, Stacey replied: “Not every single day but more days than not do you need a nap. You need a bit of a reset.”
But clearly not on the same page, Joe fumed: “I don’t agree with you Stace, I don’t agree with you.
“I find that quite offensive. I don’t agree with that.”
