Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have admitted one argument they didn’t want caught on cameras.
The couple, who married in 2022 and share six children together, don’t shy away from sharing the chaos of their family life on TV.
However, they’ve now admitted they can sometimes forget the cameras are rolling.
During an appearance on This Morning with Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, Stacey admitted: “When ‘Bean-gate’ happened, I must admit… we get friendly with the crew, so much to the point where they finish filming and we miss them.
“We would forget they were there sometimes! And we’d be rowing about these beans on the sofa and then I’d be like, ‘Oh they’ve got all this on camera’.”
Joe however admitted he’d try and get the camera crew on his side during arguments, before saying, about the baked beans falling on the sofa: “Why is it in my head, it’s not a big deal, but to everyone else, they’re like ‘Oh my god, beans on the sofa!'”
“I think what was worse than the beans was that the next day, when I went to work, he was giving Belle blueberries on the sofa – and it’s on camera!” Stacey added.
“It would be weird for me and Stacey not to be ourselves,” Joe also shared, when asked about being honest on camera.
“We don’t know how to be anything else,” Stacey added.
Laughing as they carried on their row on the This Morning sofa, with Cat and Ben seemingly horrified by Joe’s habits, Stacey defended her choice of a cream sofa, saying: “I’ve got a sofa cover, I can have a cream sofa… just because you’ve got kids doesn’t mean you can’t have beige items in the house!”
“Alright you two, I feel like you’ve already chosen a side!” Joe quipped to the hosts.
Reflecting on her parenting, Stacey added: “I used to in my head imagine that when I grew up I wasn’t going to sit at the table, I’d sit and have my dinners in front of the telly, and now I look back at sitting around the table with my family, and I’ve got my best memories from that, us all arguing, fighting over food.”
She added: “They’re my core memories, and now as an adult, it’s not even because I care about food being on the sofa, it’s about us all sitting together once a day just to reconnect. I’m literally sounding like my dad right now!”
Former Loose Women panellist Stacey welcomed her eldest son Zachary with an ex-partner when she was aged 17, shortly before her life-changing stint on The X Factor.
She also shares another son, Leighton, 13, with an ex-fiance, and has three kids, Rex, five, Rose, three and two-year-old Belle, with Joe, who also has a son from a previous relationship.
As well as all their kids, the Pickle Cottage family home a number of animals, with Stacey sharing: “21 chickens, 8 ducks now, 2 dogs, some bees, they came just by accident.”
“It’s like coming home to Noah’s Ark,” Joe quipped. “I never know what animal we’re going to have!”
