Loose Women star Stacey Solomon has opened up about her upcoming documentary series with husband Joe Swash and their kids, after the couple announced the news earlier this month.
Stacey Solomon has opened up to her fans about feeling ‘so nervous’ about the big news she and husband Joe Swash have shared. The couple have invited cameras inside their family life for a BBC One series, which will document the pair balancing family life with their work schedules and passion projects, such as building a two-acre fishing lake.
The show announcement back on Monday, 1 January, came with a sneak peek showing the antics of their five children – Rex, Rose, Belle, Leighton, and Zachary – in the garden of their stunning £1.2 million Essex pad, Pickle Cottage, along with pet pooches Teddy and Peanut and ducks, Daisy and Delilah. Stacey’s caption shared her mixed emotions: “A new year. A very new adventure. Coming Spring 2025. We’ve been so nervous and excited to share this. Here is us. All of us. In 2024 we opened up our home and made a series about our lives, family, work and everything in between.”
Stacey shared: “It was a huge leap into the unknown and it’s been an absolute whirlwind making it. But last year as a family we decided to say yes to more and do things we’d never done. We have spoken about making a documentary for a long time, lots of you have asked too.
“So here we go. A journey with us every second of the way. Through the laughter the tears and the craziness… We hope it makes you smile, feel good and hopefully enjoy getting to know us all a little more,” reports the Manchester Evening News.
The bubbly presenter has now shared some more details in her personal newsletter, revealing: “Now I can FINALLY tell you that we’d been busy filming for ‘Stacey and Joe’ coming to the BBC later this year. It’s been such a big part of our lives… I love sharing what we do on Instagram, but this is capturing the laughs, tears and the craziness at Pickle Cottage in such a different way. On the actual TV.”
She continued with gratitude: “It still feels surreal and I’m so nervous about it, but all your lovely comments have made such a difference. I’ll share more about the show when I can [heart emoji]. There’s honestly not a day that goes by that I’m not grateful for every single one of you… You’re just the best mates I could ever ask for. Thank you xxx.”
Fans have shared their excitement over the family’s TV debut. One wrote: “Oh yay this is so exciting!! Love it! You’re such a lovely down to earth real family which so many people will find relatable.” A second penned: “Yes yes yes this is the best news, I cannot wait to watch whoop whoop x.” A third exclaimed: “Cannot wait to see this! Yayyy. AMAZING news xxx.”
Stacey’s sister, Jemma Solomon, also known in the Instagram world as Label Lady, chimed in with excitement: “Let the craziness begin! A real life home movie! I can’t wait to laugh and cry watching the reality of life play out on screen! Roll on spring.”
