Christmas has well and truly arrived at Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon's beautiful Pickle Cottage, but it appears that only one half of the couple know what they're doing when it comes to putting up decorations.
In an exclusive interview with OK!, the 41 year old former EastEnders star joked that he just goes along with what wife Stacey – who appeared The X Factor back in 2009 – asks but often can't keep up.
"“Stacey’s been making some crackers and making stars to put on the tree,” said Joe. “She had me outside cutting down some bits from the Christmas trees in the garden to make a display on the mantelpiece, so she’s always doing something. I lose track sometimes of what she’s doing!”
Stacey, 34, has become a crafting queen, sharing her homemade decorations with her 5.8 million Instagram fans. And she’s been busy this December putting special touches around their home.
However, Joe who admitted he likes to keep out the way, added: “I only get involved if I’m invited. If I get involved uninvited, then sometimes it gets me in trouble! I’m just there when she needs me.”
Christmas, no doubt, will be an incredibly exciting time in the Swash-Solomon household as the couple share six children together.
“I’m really looking forward to Christmas this year,” he said. “I’m so lucky because it’s all about kids – and we’ve got so many!”
Joe and Stacey tied the knot in July 2022 surrounded by family after six years of dating. They first met when Stacey won I’m A Celebrity back in 2010, while Joe was hosting the spin-off series, I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp
Now they are parents to Rex, four, Rose, two, and 10-month-old Belle. Stacey is also mum to sons Zachary, 15, and Leighton, 11, with previous partners, while Joe is dad to 16-year-old son Harry with ex, Emma Sophocleous.
In fact, the former EastEnders star, 41, joked that the numbers involved mean they no longer receive invites during the festive period.
“I think we’ll go down to see my family on Christmas Eve. Not many people want us on Christmas Day. Who wants two adults and six kids including a baby?” he laughed.
“So we’ll be at home, and anyone who wants to come and see us will be more than welcome.”
