The mum-of-five’s touching post comes after she humorously claimed she’d been “taken hostage” by her husband Joe Swash. The beloved celebrity couple gave their three little ones, Rex, aged four, Rose, two, and one year old Belle, a treat with a weekend getaway to a caravan park.

The kids were having such a blast that they were gutted when it was time to pack up .Stacey and Joe, caught up in the fun, decided on the spur of the moment to extend their stay by another day. Stacey shared with her followers: “We’re still in this caravan,” as Joe added: “The kids won’t let us go home. “Joe, the ex-Eastenders actor, joked to his audience: “I’m keeping her hostage.

“But Stacey stood firm on leaving because she was scheduled to be on This Morning the following day.In a playful banter, Joe teased: “I reckon, there’s about a 75% chance that we’re not going to let her go on This Morning. ” Stacey, however, was adamant, replying: “I’m going, I’ve got to go, I can’t just not turn up.”
