Stacey Solomon is reportedly having second thoughts over her BBC rreality TV show with husband Joe Swash.
Stacey & Joe aims to lift the curtains of the famous couple’s life at their £1,200,000 mansion in Essex, Pickle Cottage, as they juggle parenting with their busy careers.
It also stars their youngest children, Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, two, Stacey’s first son with ex-boyfriend Dean Cox, Zach, 17, and her son Leighton, 12, with ex-fiancé Aaron Barnham.
However, it has been claimed the Loose Women star, 35, is regretting being candid in The Kardashians-style tell-all show over the presentation of her and Joe’s personalities.
A source told The Sun: ‘Stacey is regretting signing up to do the show. She’s not used to the backlash they are getting as everything she touches normally turns to gold.’
The inside claimed Stacey was struggling with negative comments concerning arguments arising from Joe’s time mangement issues and her love of organisation.
Joe, 42, was previously the subject of Stacey & Joe viewers’ ire after he returned home five hours late after a fishing trip, forcing her to simultaneously attend to an important business meeting and crying children.
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.’
Metro has contacted Stacey and Joe’s reps for comment.
In Stacey & Joe, the couple are filmed attending a therapy session with counsellor Natalie Corbett during which they have a tense exchange about communication in their marriage.
In the scenes, former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Joe tells his wife: ‘All I am doing is trying to dedicate myself to my family and do everything I possibly can, every minute of the day.
‘Then to sit here and listen to the fact that I am a huge problem — all I am hearing is that I am a huge problem in Stacey’s perfect life.’
Stacey then replies: ‘I would say this is our biggest issue in our whole relationship.
‘I cannot say anything without you taking it so personally as an attack on you as a whole person.’
After the session, the pair raised their voices in a row outside the clinic with Stacey being pulled into a hug by a colleague as she buried her head in their shoulder.
Joe previously explained that it was ‘important’ for Stacey & Joe viewers to have an authentic portray of their relationship – warts and all.
He told Closer: ‘So many people represent their lives as being so perfect on Instagram. It’s our responsibility to show the real – the highs and the lows. It’s not all a bed of roses. Sometimes we argue.’
Stacey also admitted they weren’t the ‘perfect couple.’
She told OK!: ‘What you see is what you get. 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.’
Stacey and Joe first met in 2010 when she won I’m A Celebrity, while he presented the spin-off show. They started dating in 2016 and married at their home in 2022.
Stacey & Joe is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
