BBC Stacey and Joe viewers express concern for Stacey Solomon as they brand Joe Swash ‘liability’
BBC documentary Stacey and Joe continued on Tuesday, with Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash’s relationship and family life explored further.
While the couple entertain fans with their antics, many were in agreement that they wouldn’t have Solomon’s patience when it comes to Swash.
Speaking to the cameras, Swash admitted: “Ultimately, I’m very much spur of the moment. I have a thought and I’ll do it, and I won’t think about the consequences.
“If you’re a little bit stressy, the last person you want to hang around with is me.
“I do silly things where in my head it’s fine, but it’s like, you know, ‘why have you done that?’
“I mean, I do things that annoy me. I do things that I shouldn’t do, and don’t do the things I should do.”
At one point, Solomon, 35, was infuriated when Swash, 43, put bleach in the washing machine.
They later rowed about some mess in the house before Swash left for the night as he took part in a project away from home.
When he later called his wife, it seemed as though things were peaceful once again between them until former EastEnders star Swash brought up their argument.
Solomon, exasperated, explained: “I came home and thought, ‘I’m going to tidy the front room, because the front room’s a s*** hole,’ and all over my sofa was beans.”
“How many baked beans were on the sofa?” Swash protested, with Sort Your Life Out star Solomon arguing: “About 10 baked beans!”

“They had beans on toast while they were watching Bluey, ok?” Swash fumed.
He continued: “You go on like you’ve never, ever given those kids food in the front room, which would be a lie.”
“I might give then a biscuit on the sofa, but I would never sit there and give them beans on toast on the sofa,” the 2009 X Factor finalist pointed out.
Getting fed up with the discussion, Swash hit back: “Your reaction is an overreaction, I feel like you’re out of order.”
He went on: “I spent the day looking after the kids,” to which Solomon noted: “But you are a dad… That is a normal thing to do.”
A furious Swash ended up hanging up on his wife, before joking to the cameras: “That went well.”
Social media was soon awash with fans airing their opinions on the awkward row.
“Oh my goodness Joe is so annoying #staceyandjoe,” one wrote on X.
“Did Joe actually act in EastEnders or was he just being himself? #staceyandjoe,” a second asked.
Some expressed concern for singer Solomon, with another wondering: “How does Stacey Solomon put up with Joe Swash? He’s an absolute liability. #staceyandjoe.”
“It’s a minor miracle that Stacey Solomon hasn’t murdered Joe Swash by now. #staceyandjoe,” another joked.
Someone else shared: “#staceyandjoe how annoying is he. How she puts up with him I have no idea.”
However, some found the actor comedic, with one adding: “I’m howling at Joe putting bleach in with his tshirts and runners cause he wanted them to be extra white.”
Another shared: “I’m loving this show, love how real they both are. #staceyandjoe @realjoeswash,” with one more adding: “@StaceySolomon this has had me In stitches #staceyandjoe.” (sic)
