Stacey Solomon shares emotional message with fans after reality show backlash
Stacey Solomon has taken to Instagram to share an emotional message with her fans after the final episode of her reality show with husband Joe Swash aired on BBC One last night Stacey Solomon has shared an emotional message with fans following the end of the first series of her BBC reality show with Joe Swash - which has now been confirmed for a second series. Just like her fans, the former X Factor star sat down ready to watch the final episode of Stacey & Joe: Full House last night, as she took to her Instagram stories to thank fans for their support. Speaking to her followers, Stacey said: "I'm just sitting down, the girls have gone to bed and I'm getting ready to watch our show. "I've just realised it's the last episode tonight it's gone so quickly I feel like it was only yesterday we were pooing ourselves about it coming out on the telly and now it's at the end. "I've enjoyed watching it back and then hearing from you and getting your feedback and stuff so I just wanted to say thank you, thanks for watching it." As well as the positive moments, the show also showed the downside of the couple's family life, as for the first time, fans were privy to the cracks in their own relationship. During the show, the pair, who tied the knot in 2022 revealed they've turned to marriage therapy to keep their relationship on track. A source later told OK! that Stacey and Joe perhaps underplayed what a big step it would be, inviting cameras in for every tricky moment. 'They underestimated how difficult it was going to be doing this reality show and having cameras around, and watching it back hasn't been the easiest thing. The pressures of all the kids and work while balancing their relationship has been hard, they won't deny that', they said. As well as the positive comments, Stacey and Joe had also received backlash for the show. In one scene in particular, viewers were left stunned when when the former EastEnders actor came home five hours later than planned despite Stacey needing help due to an important meeting. A source then claimed Stacey had regrets about the show all together. "Stacey is regretting signing up to do the show," a source told the Sun. "She's not used to the backlash they are getting as everything she touches normally turns to gold." They added: "She feels like she is coming across as bossy. He can't manage anything without her, so she is forced to be the 'grown up'. It's caused friction." Despite this, after the final episode last night, it was revealed Stacey and Joe's reality show had officially been renewed for a second series. The fly-on-the-wall docuseries, which first aired in April, gave fans an unfiltered look at the couple's hectic home life with their children, ducks, and two dogs in their Essex countryside retreat. In a joint statement, Stacey and Joe said: "The biggest thank you to every single person who watched the first series of Stacey And Joe… We've been so grateful for all the lovely messages and we're so excited to bring out another series with the BBC."

BBC's Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash reality show returning despite backlash
Viewers are being given another chance to see the inner workings of the Solomon-Swash household. Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are bringing the chaos of Pickle Cottage back to our screens as their hit BBC reality show Stacey And Joe has officially been renewed for a second series. The fly-on-the-wall docuseries, which first aired in April, gave fans an unfiltered look at the couple's hectic home life with their children, ducks, and two dogs in their Essex countryside retreat. After six episodes of parenting mayhem, heartfelt moments, and the odd bit of DIY, the BBC has now confirmed that filming is already under way for round two. In the first series viewers watched Solomon, 35, celebrate a huge milestone as she picked up a National Television Award for her decluttering series Sort Your Life Out. Meanwhile Swash, 43, opened up about navigating life with an ADHD diagnosis. The new series promises more candid moments, including a family getaway with the couple's growing brood. In a joint statement, Stacey and Joe said: "The biggest thank you to every single person who watched the first series of Stacey And Joe… We've been so grateful for all the lovely messages and we're so excited to bring out another series with the BBC." The couple have been together since 2016 after meeting six years earlier on I'm A Celebrity, where Joe was co-hosting the spin-off and Stacey went on to win the jungle crown. They got married in a beautiful ceremony at Pickle Cottage in 2022. Between them, they're parents to Rex, 5, Rose, 3, and Belle, 2 – plus Stacey's sons Zach and Leighton from previous relationships, and Joe's eldest, Harry. BBC's Head of Documentaries, Clare Sillery, shared her excitement over the renewal, saying: "We are delighted to be working with the Solomon Swash family and [production company] Optomen once again, on what already promises to be an incredibly exciting second series. It's been great to see how viewers have taken Stacey, Joe, their kids and beloved pets to their hearts." Charlotte Brookes, Head of Popular Factual at Optomen, added: "We're thrilled with how Series 1 performed and delighted to be able to continue filming the next chapter for Stacey and Joe, and their ever-growing family at Pickle Cottage." Stacey And Joe will return to BBC One with another six hour-long episodes. A release date has yet to be announced. This comes after a source recently revealed that the couple found letting cameras in to their life behind-the-scenes more difficult than expected. The pair have admitted to starting marriage therapy after seeing issues in their relationship play out on screen. An insider told OK!: "They underestimated how difficult it was going to be doing this reality show and having cameras around, and watching it back hasn't been the easiest thing. The pressures of all the kids and work while balancing their relationship has been hard, they won't deny that. "They're going to therapy because they love each other and would never want to get to the point where they don't want to be together anymore. Yes, there have been ups and downs and it's been quite a rollercoaster - but they know there's no shame in therapy and both realise it's the best thing for their relationship and to iron out their issues."
