BBC show about Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash to return for a second series
A fly-on-the-wall reality TV show about Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash will return for a second series, the BBC has announced. The first series of Stacey And Joe launched in April and followed the couple and their children, as well as their ducks and two dogs, during their day-to-day life at their Pickle Cottage home in Essex. Across six episodes, viewers watched Solomon, 35, win a National Television Award (NTA) award for her reality show Sort Your Life Out, and Swash grapple with his ADHD diagnosis. Filming for the second series is getting under way and will include footage of the couple taking a family trip. Solomon and Swash 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.' Former EastEnders actor Swash, 43, and Loose Women panellist Solomon have been together since 2016 after they met in 2010 when Solomon was competing on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Swash was co-hosting the spin-off. The couple, who married in 2022, are parents to Rex, who was born in 2019, Rose, born in 2021, and Belle, born in 2023. There is also Zach (Solomon's first son with ex-boyfriend Dean Cox), Leighton (Solomon's son with ex-fiance Aaron Barnham), and Harry, Swash's son with ex-fiance Emma Sophocleous. Clare Sillery, head of commissioning, BBC Documentaries, said: '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 and series two will continue to honestly reflect their bustling lives at Pickle Cottage.' Charlotte Brookes, head of popular factual, Optomen, said: '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 air on BBC One as a six-part series of hour-long episodes, with a launch date yet to be announced by the BBC.

First look at Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash's new show from crazy parenting to romantic kisses
Fun-filled photographs reveal the first intimate look at Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash's lives set to play out on BBC reality series Stacey & Joe. The countdown is on until the six part series airs on BBC One on 1 April after the British TV couple invited the cameras into their family home Pickle Cottage, in Essex last year filmed over the summer and autumn. Behind the scenes of their lives, the photographs show Solomon and Swash's romance as well as the "craziness" of parenting. Sort Your Life Out star Solomon, 35, and Swash, 43, have put their marriage centre stage of the BBC show after tying the knot in 2022 but the couple have been together for almost a decade since they started dating in 2016. See all of the fun first look photographs below from Stacey & Joe... One chaotic moment shows Joe Swash juggling parenting two of his youngest children. (BBC) Intimate photographs capture their love story as Solomon and Swash were comfortable kissing in front of the camera. Over an alfresco lunch, the couple shared a kiss while enjoying time with their children. Another sweet moment between Solomon and Swash kissing was captured on camera when no one else seemed to be around. This only backs the picture-perfect idea that they have one of the strongest marriages in the British showbiz circuit. Despite some of their lovey-dovey displays making the edit of their BBC reality show, Solomon insisted their marriage isn't always flawless. She told OK! magazine: "What we've learnt about each other is that we're not a perfect couple. We've never said we're a perfect couple, but you get to watch yourself back, which is something that doesn't happen often." Having six children between them is always going to be a little bit chaotic, with the mum admitting it "gets intense" and they're in their "stress era". Solomon has two children Zachary, 16, and Leighton, 12, from previous relationships while Swash has a son Harry, 17, with his former fiance. They share their youngest three children together: Rex, five, Rose, three and Belle, two. One photograph from the show showed the true parenting chaos — or in Solomon's own words "at the peak of craziness" — as Swash was seen juggling two of the youngest children. Another photograph of chaos captured Leighton falling over while taking the bins out with his brother Zachary. It's clear Solomon and Swash love being parents with the question of another baby on their lips. The mum cheekily quipped: "Joe would like me to be a baby machine! I quit, I quit! My pelvic floor is a shambles, the whole of my back is screaming at me. I can't do it again." Last May, Solomon said she was giving up her glittering showbiz career to be a stay at home mum meaning she would only take jobs where she could work at Pickle Cottage or not be away for too long — making the reality show with BBC the perfect opportunity. At the time, she told Glad We Had This Chat podcast: "Every year I have a team meeting with my agent and everyone on the team to say 'What's your plan, what's your goals, blah, blah, blah'. And this year when they asked me my five-year goals, I was like 'I want to be a stay at home mum'. "That is like my dream, my ultimate dream. I just want to be with my kids. I mean it is conflicting, because I also want to fulfil my dreams and my goals and the things that I'm passionate about, because if I don't have that, will I feel unfulfilled? "So what I'm trying to do at this point is make sure everything that I work on I can work on 90 per cent of the time at home. And then just do passion projects outside of the house, and then try and be around for them more." Stacey & Joe is coming to BBC One on 1 April.
