Stacey ‘JOE HATES ME’
She’s much loved by her followers for her honesty and relatability online, especially when it comes to the ups and downs of family life with her husband Joe Swash. And now Stacey Solomon has confessed that Joe ‘hates her’, after he bought an irritating toy.

Thankfully, things began to look up for Chloe. ‘I eventually started to get excited about what my life would look like,’ she said. And it was thanks to her parents, Richard and Judy. ‘Part of the reason why I managed to come out of that black hole was because of Mum and Dad,’ she said. ‘They got me through the hardest time in my
