Joe Swash peels back the covers on 'minefield' life with Stacey Solomon
The former EastEnders star says he figured out he is being fooled in to doing housework – and fears Stacey's wrath if he messes up her pristinely organised cupboards
Joe Swash has given details on life behind closed doors with long term lover Stacey Solomon – and it all sounds slightly intense.
The 36-year-old Dancing On Ice star has been dating 30-year-old Loose Women panelist Stacey since 2015 – and together they have a 15-month-old son named Rex.
The couple have often teased elements of their life together through their social media channels and via loved up – and often highly amusing – appearances on Celebrity Gogglebox.
Joe has lifted the lid on life with former X Factor contestant Stacey in a candid new conversation – and while the pair are clearly loved up, it sounds like the ex-EastEnders star could be letting his lover walk all over him.
Joe explained that he realised Stacey was fooling him in to washing the windows of their house by telling him he looked sexy while he worked.
He complained to The Sun: “She blows all this smoke at me, saying, ‘You look sexy when you’re doing the windows’.
“So I clean them all, but it’s all mind games. She completely sucks me in — she just wants the windows cleaned. Have you ever seen a cat with a ball of wool? Well, she’s the cat and I’m the ball of wool. She’s just toying with me.”
The star also explained that Stacey’s meticulous attention to detail was causing him headaches as he worries about messing up her perfectly organised cupboards.
He explained: “I get this overwhelming feeling of dread because I know if I don’t leave that cupboard how it was left, the crisps on little hooks or the tea towels folded and in a colour co-ordinated way, she’ll go mad.
“So I try to go in the cupboards as little as possible. It does look amazing. But for someone like me it’s a minefield.”
Stacey and Joe share their home with baby Rex and Stacey’s two-other children from other relationships – while Joe has a second child from a former romance.
The couple recently discussed expanding their family by fostering children.
Stacey explained: "We've both have had the discussion about when our children go off and leave the home that that is something that we would absolutely look into.
