Stacey Solomon has shared an emotional message with fans following the end of the first series of her BBC reality show with Joe Swash – which has now been confirmed for a second series.
Just like her fans, the former X Factor star sat down ready to watch the final episode of Stacey & Joe: Full House last night, as she took to her Instagram stories to thank fans for their support.
Speaking to her followers, Stacey said: “I’m just sitting down, the girls have gone to bed and I’m getting ready to watch our show.

“I’ve enjoyed watching it back and then hearing from you and getting your feedback and stuff so I just wanted to say thank you, thanks for watching it.”
As well as the positive moments, the show also showed the downside of the couple’s family life, as for the first time, fans were privy to the cracks in their own relationship. During the show, the pair, who tied the knot in 2022 revealed they’ve turned to marriage therapy to keep their relationship on track.
A source later told OK! that Stacey and Joe perhaps underplayed what a big step it would be, inviting cameras in for every tricky moment.

“They underestimated how difficult it was going to be doing this reality show and having cameras around, and watching it back hasn’t been the easiest thing. The pressures of all the kids and work while balancing their relationship has been hard, they won’t deny that”, they said.
As well as the positive comments, Stacey and Joe had also received backlash for the show. In one scene in particular, viewers were left stunned when when the former EastEnders actor came home five hours later than planned despite Stacey needing help due to an important meeting.
A source then claimed Stacey had regrets about the show all together. “Stacey is regretting signing up to do the show,” a source told the Sun. “She’s not used to the backlash they are getting as everything she touches normally turns to gold.”
They added: “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.”
Despite this, after the final episode last night, it was revealed Stacey and Joe’s reality show had officially been renewed for a second series. The fly-on-the-wall docuseries, which first aired in April, gave fans an unfiltered look at the couple’s hectic home life with their children, ducks, and two dogs in their Essex countryside retreat.
In a joint statement, Stacey and Joe said: “The biggest thank you to every single person who watched the first series of Stacey And Joe… We’ve been so grateful for all the lovely messages and we’re so excited to bring out another series with the BBC.”
