Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are often regarded as the perfect couple, by fans and loved ones alike.
Telly fave Stacey, 35, recently recalled to the Mirror: “I remember when we first got together and even some of our family were like: ‘Of course, that makes perfect sense!’”
However, the couple – married for nearly three years, and with six kids in their blended family – will show their relationship may not be as flawless as social media might suggest in their upcoming BBC One series.

‘We argue’
One scene that’ll play out in front of the reality show’s cameras sees Stacey fuming as Joe returns from a fishing trip several hours later than expected, leaving Stacey juggling work and mum duties.
But Stacey and Joe were determined to allow their show to be accurate. He’s admitted: “So many people represent their lives as being so perfect on Instagram. It’s our responsibility to show the real – the highs and the lows. It’s not all a bed of roses. Sometimes we argue.”

As it turns out, the pair have found it instructive to watch back their bickering.
She reflected: “It opens you up to the development of your relationship that you don’t always see, in everyday life. A lot of the time you’re just trudging through to get to the next day.”
Stacey now feels more inclined to ‘pick her battles’. And Joe reckons he needs to listen rather than being “defensive”.
However, it isn’t the first time that ‘arguments’ between the two have been reported on.
