Stacey Solomon reveals what she and husband Joe Swash argue about the most after claims she ‘regrets doing family reality show’

Stacey Solomon has revealed she and Joe argue of his use of the phrase ‘for you’ around the house. 

The TV star, 35, revealed in a clip from her BBC reality show Stacey & Joe that she and her husband regularly squabble over his insistence he has done household duties ‘for’ her.

Speaking to the camera, Stacey said: ‘I’ll tell you what we argue over the most, ‘for you’.

‘”I’ll have the kids for you. I’ve just put the dishwasher on for you.” Nothing makes my eye twitch more than, “babe I’ve just tidied up for you.”

Joe replied: ‘To be fair, “you know when you go for dinner later, I’ll have them kids for you. I’ll look after them.”‘

Stacey then insisted that none of thse things should be ‘for her’ as they are also Joe’s responsibility.

She said: ‘Yeah, for me! They’re your kids too! The house is yours to look after also! Why is it for  me?!

Joe playfully replied: ‘Well, I’m not doing it for myself am I? Only joking.’

The couple opened the doors of their beloved home, Pickle Cottage, for cameras to film a ‘Kardashians-style’ TV show, тιтled Stacey & Joe, focused on their family life.

The show follows the couple juggling their careers with raising their children Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, two, and Stacey’s sons Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 12, from previous relationships.

However, Stacey is reportedly regretting agreeing to take part in the reality show after it was met with criticism. 

Stacey and Joe – who tied the knot in 2022 – have been insistent on showing both the ups and the downs, explaining that they weren’t ‘trying to portray a glamorous lifestyle’.

However, according to The Sun, the TV presenter is having some serious regrets about being so open, following some negative reactions from viewers.

A source said: ‘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.’

It is alleged that Stacey is concerned about how she and Joe are coming across in their arguments, with Joe’s lack of time management and ADHD struggles clashing with Stacey’s love of extreme organisation.

A friend told the publication: ‘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.’

One episode sees Stacey devastated by Joe not showing up at an important meeting, leaving her juggling caring for the babies while trying to plan the launch of her own perfume. 

Despite begging him not to let her down beforehand, the EastEnders star is five hours late after going fishing with his friends.

Speaking to OK! ahead of their show, Stacey and Joe revealed viewers will get to witness them arguing on camera, explaining it was important to them not to cut out rows like other couples would be tempted to.

Joe said: ‘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.’

While Stacey added: ‘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.’

The pair also explained how watching their ‘bickering’ back helps them learn about their faults and where the other is coming from, with them saying it’ been more effective that couples’ therapy.

Tuesday’s episode saw Joe reveal that he feels like a ‘problem’ in Stacey’s ‘perfect’ life due to his ADHD, as they went for a therapy session at the Henry Centre in Westcliff EsSєx.

In a conversation with counsellor Natalie Corbett, Stacey said: ‘I understand Joe’s frustration, because he is putting a lot of effort in. 

‘Like, I would say “Joe I really need help with this, this, and this. I’m really struggling.” And Joe hears that and he wants to support me but he’ll do other things that aren’t the stuff I’m asking him.

‘He gets frustrated because he has worked hard and he has put the effort in. But you haven’t done the things I’m directly asking you for.

‘So I’ve still got to manage those on my own. You’re a great dad and an amazing person, but sometimes I don’t think you take into consideration all the fires I’ve got to put out everywhere.’

Looking defeated, Joe replied: ‘I don’t even know what to say. It’s so frustrating, when all I feel like I’m doing is trying to dedicate myself to my family and do everything I possibly can, every minute of the day. 

‘And then to sit here and listen to the fact that I’m a huge problem…’

‘But nobody is saying that. Is that what you hear?’ therapist Natalie asked.

Joe interrupted: ‘All that I’m hearing is that I’m this huge problem in Stacey’s perfect life. That’s all I’m hearing. I don’t hear no positive stuff about me as a person.’

‘I would say this is our biggest issue in our whole relationship. Is that I cannot say anything without you taking it so personally, as an attack on you as a whole person,’ Stacey said.

Joe replied: ‘All I ever do is I try and do for my family. So when I hear that, that’s not what’s coming across. That’s frustrating for me.’

Stacey then clarified: ‘You’re hearing something that’s not being said. I have caveated almost everything I’ve said with a positive, Joe. It’s about us working together to manage this situation.

‘That’s what I’m here for. I’m not here to change you. I’m here to support who we are.’

But, the couple’s show received some criticism from viewers who took to social media to share their verdicts last week.

They tweeted: ‘Firstly, I love Sort Your Life Out and I like Stacey Solomon. Joe Swash hmm. I wasn’t going to watch #staceyandjoe, but I gave it a try. No, no, and absolutely no’; ‘I’m sorry but who the f**k signed this off? #Stacey&Joe.’

‘Stacey & Joe. F*** sake @BBCOne stop wasting our licence fee’; ‘Why on earth are @BBCOne commissioning this absolute trash. What a colossal waste of public money.’

However, many voiced their love for both the couple and the show, gushing: ‘Absolutely loved Stacey & Joe our new EsSєx Kardashians!!! Loved every min!’

‘Everything about Stacey & Joe is just making me smile. They seem like the loveliest family’; ‘Absolutely loving Stacey & Joe… Pickle cottage is beautiful, bet all the seasons are gorgeous.’
