TV darling Stacey Solomon was spotted in tears after a particularly intense therapy session with hubby Joe Swash, with The Sun on Sunday snapping pictures of the teary moment last November.
Images reveal Stacey, 35, seeking solace from a TV crew member while Joe, 43, strides away.
The contretemps followed a challenging therapy appointment at Henry Centre in Westcliff, Essex, which Stacey had set up, partly to aid Joe post his ADHD diagnosis revelations.
Their BBC1 docu-series Stacey and Joe, airing next Tuesday, will give audiences a peek into their candid chat with therapist Natalie Corbett about how they communicate.
In a notably fraught scene, Joe exclaims, “All I am doing is trying to dedicate myself to my family and do everything I possibly can, every minute of the day.
“Then to sit here and listen to the fact that I am a huge problem – all I am hearing is that I am a huge problem in Stacey’s perfect life,” reports the Manchester Evening News
To which Stacey counters: “I would say this is our biggest issue in our whole relationship. I cannot say anything without you taking it so personally as an attack on you as a whole person.”
The friction didn’t stop inside four walls; voices were raised post-session too. An eagle-eyed passer-by told The Sun at the time: “Joe came out of a building and stormed off.”
The bystander said: “He looked upset and was sitting on some steps for a while.
“Stacey came out in tears and she looked really emotional. About 15 minutes later, Joe was having an animated talk with a man. Stacey walked towards Joe in the car and shouted something. It looked tense.”
In the reality show that gives us a glimpse into the couple’s hectic life with their kids, they reflected on the incident while driving back from their therapy session.
Joe confessed: “That was horrible. I hated every second of that. Stacey chimed in: “I thought it was good. I think we should keep going as we know we can be so happy.
“Maybe our issue isn’t even anything to do with you having ADHD – do you know what I mean?”
