STACEY Solomon has admitted how she feels “so jealous” of Joe Swash.
She shared how the couple, who got married in 2022, have “random” work schedules – but this often leaves her feeling envious of her beau.

Stacey, 34, works primarily in telly as a panellist on Loose Women and her new Channel 4 show Renovation Rescue.
Meanwhile, Joe, 42, does lots of social media advertisements and recently appeared on DAVE’s World’s Most Dangerous Roads.
As the pair don’t work conventional jobs, they don’t have a traditional 9 to 5 schedule.
However, Stacey admitted that this brings out the green-eyed monster in her when Joe gets to stay at home with the children.
She made the confession on Loose Women last week.
“Me and Joe have got a weird job where sometimes he’s at home with the kids and I’m working, and sometimes I’m at home with the kids and he’s working,” she said.
“Every time I have to leave really early and all of the kids are in bed with Joe and they’re all having a little snuggle, I’m like, ‘ugh, I don’t wanna go’.
“Or if I’m working away – sometimes I film for like a week at a time – Joe will FaceTime me with all the kids and they’re all running around and he’s making them dinner.
“I always have to say to him on the phone, ‘I’m gonna go now babe because I feel so jealous of you right now’.”
The mum-of-five added that she’s “so grateful” that ex-Eastenders actor Joe loves being a hands-on dad.
At times, the pair have to lean on Stacey’s dad, Dave, for help when they’re both working away from home.
“We try really hard for one of us to be at home,” she shared.
“But we’re in a really privileged position where our jobs are really random so it means we can be flexible.
“So, we can sort of schedule it around that.”
Inside Stacey Solomon's Pickle Cottage
STACEY Solomon splashed out a massive £1.2million on Pickle Cottage – and Joe Swash didn't put in a penny.
She solely stumped up the cash for their Tudor-style Essex property, which is set in 2.5 acres and boasts an outdoor swimming pool.
The former X Factor star and Joe live there with Zachary, Leighton, Rex, Rose, and Belle.
It’s not known why Stacey went alone, as ex-EastEnders actor Joe is reportedly worth over £1million, but has also been made bankrupt twice in 2009 and 2013.
Shrewd Stacey has shown she’s a dab hand at running a wide range of successful businesses including TV, books, clothing and homeware ranges.
Her main firm Key Map Entertainments is worth just shy of £3million – and she’s also branched out into cosmetics.
The former X Factor contestant registered the company Belle & Rose Ltd, named after her youngest two daughters.
PASTURES NEW
Last month, Fabulous exclusively revealed how Stacey is set to make MILLIONS after setting up her own beauty brand.
She set up a new company named Belle & Rose Ltd in February with plans to sell beauty products and tools in “specialised stores”.
The busy mum clearly developed an appetite for the beauty industry after investing in haircare brand Rehab in October last year.
It’s currently unclear exactly what Stacey will be producing under Belle & Rose Ltd – whether it be make-up, haircare, skincare or beauty tools.
But it’s likely she’ll be producing everyday beauty products for mums on-the-go, such as easy-to-use haircare or all-in-one creams, experts predict.
Stacey might even be trying to break the US with her new company and is likely eyeing up getting her products stocked in Sephora, culture expert Nick Ede shared.
He explained that Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon has taken Stacey under her wing, with telly opportunities through the actress’ production company Hello Sunshine on the horizon.
