Secret vaper Joe Swash puffs away as he leaves posh awards ceremony with wife Stacey Solomon
JOE Swash was seen enjoying his vape as he snuck out of a swanky bash last night.
The proud 42-year-old joined wife Stacey Solomon as she picked up a gong at the RTS Awards for her show Sort Your Life Out.
Before driving home, Joe was spotted outside the Grosvenor Hotel having a puff – giving his suit jacket to Stacey to keep her warm.
Stacey – who is also a secret smoker – chatted with him and a pal outside the venue, following her huge success.
A delight Stacey, 34, shared a video of the moment she found out the BBC show had won.
She told her followers: “We Won. Our First EVER award for sort your life out & my first ever award for my own tv show.
“And it’s a @royaltelevisionsociety award!! WHAT It’s only taken me 15 years. I don’t even know what to say.
“I definitely wasn’t ready for the speech. S.Y.L.O has such a huge place in my heart & there is nothing I love more than meeting people & being a part of changing their lives around.
“It is so special, and something I’ll never take for granted. Thank you to every single family who has welcomed us into your homes. You are the soul of the show.”
She went on to praise all of her co-stars Robert Brent, Dilly Carter and Iwan Carrington.
And she thanked the BBC for ‘believing in her’, as well as the rest people who work on the show.
Stacey looked amazing at the bash in a bridal style gown, while Joe looked dapper in a suit.
The couple revealed they had been stuck in traffic ahead – because they had refused to get a taxi.
Fearing they would be late on the way there, Stacey said: “We’re in the car stuck in traffic in the rain, so hopefully I won’t miss the awards. Joe is driving because we too stingy to get a cab.
“The cab was like £300 – I was like ‘Joe, we could take the kids to Legoland’. So hopefully we get there, thanks for your lovely messages, I’ve been reading them on the way.”
