Stacey Solomon reveals relationship struggles and admits husband Joe Swash tells her ‘I never see you anymore’
STACEY Solomon has admitted that her husband Joe Swash is struggling with her extremely hectic workload.
The star, 33, is currently filming her two television series’ at the same time and she has been leaving at the crack of dawn every day for several weeks.
And as she quickly got ready at 5.30am for yet another day of shooting, Stacey confessed that Joe is finding her absence tough.
Stacey was quickly shaving her legs as she told her Instagram followers that she was off to Cambridge.
She confessed: “Poor Joe, I got in last night and I was like, ‘Hi, babe’. He was like, ‘I don’t see you anymore’. I just leave a six in the morning every day and I don’t get back until about nine o’clock at night.
“I do feel bad because I think being home with the kids is sometimes harder than going to work, isn’t it?
“He just doesn’t have that relief of me getting home and him being like, ‘Ah, it’s your turn’. I’m getting home and everyone’s asleep!
“Sometimes I get jealous of him because I’m like, ‘Aw you’re at home with the kids and the babies and I’m so jealous’.
“But it’s not easy is it? Having all the kids and doing all the school runs, cooking all the dinner… So I think he’s a bit like, ‘When is this filming going to be over?!'”
Stacey went on to explain that she is in the midst of filming a new series of her BBC show Sort Your Life Out and shooting for her brand new C4 programme Brickin’ It.
Both require her to travel around the country to visit families at their homes. For the Beeb series, she helps them to declutter.
Stacey, meanwhile, is presenting Brickin’ It while experts help out families who have been left high and dry by builders midway through a renovation.
Stacey explained that the birth of her fifth child Belle in February has led to the clash in her schedule.
“I wouldn’t usually do two shows at once,” Stacey said in her early bird video. “But because we had Belle and she was such a happy surprise, I had to cancel all my filming dates that would have been in the spring. Then I would have done one of them in the summer.
“So instead, we’re having to do both of them in the summer so we’re not shooting in the winter when it’s cold and getting dark really quickly.
“But I am so grateful because I’ve wanted to do things like this for years and never got the opportunity so I’m like, right, take it while it’s there.”
Stacey barely took any time off following the birth of Belle. Within two months, she was off to Paris for a work opportunity with L’Oreal.
The devoted mum – who was still breastfeeding – took Belle and one-year-old daughter Rose with her for the trip.
Her hectic filming schedule then kicked into action within weeks of her returning to the UK.
Stacey is also mum to three boys. She and Joe share Rex, four, while she has sons Zachary, 15, and Leighton, 11, from previous relationships.
