Joe Swash has given fans a rare glimpse into his relationship with wife Stacey Solomon, discussing his “weakness”.
The former EastEnders actor, 43, appeared alongside Vernon Kay, Rob Rinder and Jordan Banjo on ITV’s Loose Men on Wednesday (November 20), where they touched upon various topics.
However, one particular segment sparked conversation as they debated which family members contribute more during the festive season, reports OK!.
Vernon initiated the discussion by stating: “December is just around the corner and it’s just 5 weeks till Christmas. Statistics show that it’s the woman of the house that put the most effort in when preparing for the festive season.”
Shifting focus to co-star Joe, the TV host then queried: “So Joe, Stacey is Mrs Christmas. Is there any pressure on you when she gets cracking?”

Joe confessed: “All year there is a pressure on me. If you are ever wondering what month of the year it is, just pop around my house and my door will tell you.
“If it’s summer we will have a summer display on. We just got rid of the Halloween display and Christmas is going up now.”
Delving deeper into his relationship, the star added: “I feel like a good relationship is about knowing the strengths and weaknesses and one my weaknesses is getting involved. I like to take a step back because Stacey has got a vision and I’ll do the running around.”
He added: “Stacey is the site manager and I’m a tradie so I’ll be going to pick all the stuff up and Stacey makes it look beautiful. You know what they say, there is no I in the team.”
The panel erupted with laughter as Jordan interjected with a quip: “Well there is an on- site manager.”
In a separate discussion on the programme, Joe couldn’t resist highlighting one particular habit of Stacey’s that “gets on his nerves so much.”
During another part of the show, the panellists explored the everyday annoyances that frustrate them, and Joe was swift to confess his dislike of noisy eaters.
Making matters worse, Joe acknowledged that Stacey isn’t exactly discreet when tucking into a packet of crisps. He said: “My Stacey, somehow she can project the volume of the crisps she is eating. How can you make that louder than it needs to be? That gets on my nerves so much.”
Joe added: “There is one more. You know when someone puts something in the dish washer and they don’t take the stuff out of the dishwasher so when I go in there to get a cup I’m then made to take everything out of the dishwasher like it is my job.”
Stacey and Joe exchanged vows in 2022 and together they share three little ones – Rex, five, Rose, three, and one year old Belle, whilst Stacey has two sons and Joe has one son – teenagers Zachary, Leighton and Harry – from earlier relationships.
