Stacey Solomon has insisted that she and her husband Joe Swash teach their six children the importance of earing their own money.

Together the TV couple share Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, two, while Stacey is mum to sons Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 12, from two previous relationships, and Joe also has a son Harry, 16, with his ex-partner. 

And as their new family reality show prepares to hit BBC One, the couple have revealed their strict rules for the kids. 

Stacey, 35, who is worth an estimated £5million, has revealed their children earn their pocket money through chores at the family home Pickle Cottage, and in the future they will have to find their own way in life. 

‘We don’t have some sort of inherited wealth that we can pᴀss down for generations. It’s really important for them to know that this is our career and we will support our family in whichever way we can, but eventually they are their own person,’ the Loose Women star told The Mirror.

Stacey, who sH๏τ to fame as a teenage mum on The X Factor, added that it was her pH๏τographer dad who instilled the importance of financial independence in her.

‘My dad didn’t treat us any differently, as soon as we got jobs, we had to contribute. I was excited to earn my own money and be financially independent. I want my children to be excited for that too,’ she said.

‘It’s a wider picture of their self-worth and their happiness in general. I want them to feel accomplished and have things. 

‘It’s very difficult to go through life without needing anything or wanting anything. I don’t want to leave them in that position.’

Stacey’s comments echo that of Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, who recently admitted he doesn’t want his children to become ‘trust fund kids’.

The former Made In Chelsea star, 36, is the son of multimillionaire Eden Rock H๏τelier David Matthews and was educated at Eton College, where fees are currently £63,000 a year.

However, the star is determined to make sure his three children know they will need to earn their own money as he admitted he won’t be giving all his wealth to his children.

After pᴀssing his GCSEs last year, Stacey’s eldest son Zachary has been training to be a mechanic, as Stacey proudly revealed on Instagram last Summer.

But the Zach has also been appearing on TV screens, helping out his mum on her hit BBC home makeover series Sort Your Life Out whilst also bagging a cameo in Hollyoaks alongside brother Leighton earlier this year.
