Stacey and Joe to return for a second BBC series

A fly-on-the-wall reality TV show about celebrities Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash will return for a second series, the BBC has announced.

The first series of Stacey And Joe launched in April and followed the couple and their children, as well as their ducks and two dogs, through day-to-day life at their Pickle Cottage home in Essex.

Across six episodes, viewers watched Solomon, 35, win a National Television Award (NTA) award for her reality show Sort Your Life Out, and Swash grapple with his ADHD diagnosis, and their 16-year-old as he waited for his GCSE results.

Filming for the second BBC One series is getting under way and will include footage of the couple taking a family trip.

The couple said: “We’ve been so grateful for all the lovely messages and we’re so excited to bring out another series with the BBC.”

Former EastEnders actor Swash, 43, and Loose Women panellist Solomon, have been together since 2016 after they met in 2010 when Solomon was competing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Swash was co-hosting the spin-off.

The couple, who married in 2022, are parents to Rex, who was born in 2019, Rose, born in 2021, and Belle, born in 2023.

There is also Zach (Solomon’s first son with ex-boyfriend Dean Cox), Leighton (Solomon’s son with ex-fiance Aaron Barnham), and Harry, Swash’s son with ex-fiance Emma Sophocleous.

Clare Sillery, head of commissioning, BBC Documentaries, said: “It’s been great to see how viewers have taken Stacey, Joe, their kids and beloved pets to their hearts and series two will continue to honestly reflect their bustling lives.”

Stacey And Joe will air on BBC One with a launch date yet to be announced.
