Stacey Solomon says 'finally' as she's seen with Joe Swash after addressing relationship

Stacey Solomon has shared a sweet update with fans after addressing her relationship with husband Joe Swash. The Loose Women star recently joked about her and the former EastEnders star being 'estranged' as he spends so much time away from home.

Former I'm A Celebrity and Dancing on Ice winner Joe will star in Beauty and the Beast this pantomime season at The Grove in Dunstable and has been brought in to play the 'Buttons'-style character to provide some comic relief.

Stacey, 35, continued with pride: "He's doing panto this year which the kids are so excited about. I can't wait to see their faces.... But what that means is he's in rehearsals now every day until he starts then he doesn't finish until the 7th of Jan. So between the hours of 6 in the morning when he leaves and 8pm at night when he gets back, we don't get to see him."

Joe then said: "But don't worry, mate. I'll come home in my costume one night and surprise you!" Stacey didn't seem impressed as she replied: "Well we're going to come and see you in your costume," to which Joe said: "I'll bring it home just for you." But Stacey wasn't feeling his same vibe as she said: "Well you character is Phillipe Flop, so what are you? A giant flip-flop? If you think that's going to turn me on, your wrong!"

Now, Stacey has been seen making the most of having Joe home for a short while as he and their young children - Rex, five, Rose, three, and one-year-old Belle, headed to pick out their Christmas trees.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday (December 1), the Sort Your Life Out host shared a string of snaps of them together and said: "Hello December. We picked our Christmas tree today. One of our favourite days of the year… And we finally got daddy back for a day! He’s been in Panto rehearsing for the last couple of weeks, we’ve missed him. Happy December everyone… lots of love from us!"

And her fans and followers were quick to gush over the update. @mum_im_hungry said: "Rose and Belle with their sparkly boots! So cute!
