Emotional Stacey Solomon reveals why she’s struggling with busy family life
With a brood of five and a busy career to juggle, it’s hardly surprising that things can get on top of Stacey Solomon sometimes.
And that’s what seems to be happening at the moment, as the star has admitted that she’s felt ‘scared’ and ‘emotional’.
After Stacey, her husband Joe Swash and their three young children, Rex, four, Rose, two, and one-year-old Belle, as well as Stacey’s older boys Zachary, 16, and Leighton, 11, took a trip around Scotland in their new camper van, Stacey admitted she and Joe ‘nearly killed each other’.
And when the topic of having another baby came up on her BBC show Sort Your Life Out, she confessed, ‘I can’t even handle what I have now.’
Clashing with Joe
Stacey recently suggested she was cross with Joe for going away on a last-minute work trip. Joe starred in an episode of World’s Most Dangerous Roads, but Stacey explained how the former actor took on the job and flew out to Central America at the eleventh hour, leaving her in the lurch.
‘I had literally started filming Christmas Crafts and invited loads of people to a party I had put together,’ she said, adding, ‘Joe out of the blue took this job in Guatemala and left me [with] five kids and a film crew.’ She jokingly added, ‘It better have been worth it.’
Stacey has been open about the fact she struggles when Joe is away. When he went on a fishing trip last year, the Loose Women star was so stressed she joked that they wouldn’t reach their first wedding anniversary. She said, ‘Mr Swash has been away fishing, I can’t cope with this man right now. We will be lucky if we make it to our one-year anniversary, to be honest.’ She added in a dig to her husband, ‘You left me with the kids for three days. Joe, you caught three fish.’ And when he was previously away on a work trip, she said, ‘It’s been an interesting week. Joe’s gone away for two weeks so I’ve been trying to get into the swing of it all around work without him. I am just trying to keep my head above the water.’
So it seems the Scotland trip perhaps came at a good time for the couple, with Stacey telling her fans on Instagram, ‘I was scared to do it and it wasn’t easy. But the best things in life come at the end of a long road. I didn’t start out this trip thinking I’d make it to the end let alone love every
