Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are reportedly having a different style of Christmas this year, with the couple and their six children toning down the occasion compared to 2020
Joe Swash has spilled the beans on his and Stacey Solomon’s festive shake-up, following whispers of a tiff. The celeb duo has been getting into the Christmas spirit at their lush £1.2 million abode, lovingly named Pickle Cottage, with offspring in tow. TV star Stacey, 35, kicked off the Yuletide vibe in early November, even treating fans to a social media sneak peek featuring a rainbow of fairy lights and jolly decorations hanging about.
The couple have six kids, with the pair parenting Rex, aged five, three year old Rose, and tiny tot Belle, who’s just celebrated her first birthday. Stacey also has teen boys, Zachary and Leighton, from a previous relationship, while Joe shares Harry with his ex Emma Sophocleous.
The brood bundled up for a huge festive do last year, with craft queen Stacey showing off her DIY skills on TV with Stacey Solomon’s Crafty Christmas, reports the Mirror. However, this season will see them dialling it back for a cosier, more intimate gathering.
Speaking to Metro, 42 year old Joe revealed: “Last year, we had about 28 people at our house for Christmas dinner. This year is a bit more quiet: just me, Stacey, the kids and three or four other people coming.”
Fans are left wondering if the couple’s scaled-down festive plans are a result of their recent spat, which was so intense that Stacey was spotted being comforted by a film crew on the street. According to an insider, the pair departed in different directions, with Stacey seen embracing someone from the production team.
An eyewitness described Joe exiting a building solo and “stormed off down the street” while puffing on his vape. He reportedly paused for a moment on some steps, looking visibly distressed, before someone approached to check on him.
