Stacey Solomon has finally addressed speculation about troubles in her marriage to husband Joe Swash.
The TV personality, 36, wed the former soap star, 44, in a romantic ceremony in 2022, but last month it was reported the couple had yet to formally register their marriage which prompted raised eyebrows.
Just hours later, Stacey was photographed wearing her engagement ring but no wedding band, leading to further questions about their relationship.
But the Loose Women star has dismissed divorce rumours and insisted she still ‘fancies the pants’ off Joe, but also confessed there were times she ‘couldn’t stand him’.
Speaking on Sort Your Life Out Unpacked podcast, she said: ‘Who cares if the whole world is like: “Oh, they’re on the brink of divorce’? Being in the public eye I think creates certain pressures, but not on our relationship because half the time what they’re saying :”If we know it’s not true, who cares?”‘..
‘Sometimes I fancy the pants off him and can’t wait to come home to see him’.

She went on: ‘Sometimes I’m like: “Get out of my stratosphere – stay away from me.” I think we’re just like any other couple.’
The couple are parents to Rex, seven, Rose, four, and two-year-old Belle. As well as Stacey’s older sons Zachary, 18, and Leighton, 13, and Joe’s son Harry, 18, from previous relationships.
After news broke of them not making their marriage legal, a source told Daily Mail: ‘They have six kids. If you look back at when they actually got married, it was just like a whirlwind, baby after baby. They just haven’t got round to it yet.’
Earlier this month, Stacey returned to Instagram after ‘shutting off from the world’ for a month amid the questions about her marriage.
She gave her followers an update into family life after it was revealed that she and Joe had suffered some ‘problems’.
Sharing a series of photos, Stacey could be seen as she enjoyed the sunshine with her children. However, she did not include any pictures of Joe.
As well as spending time in the garden, they also baked some chocolate cupcakes while spending some quality time together.

It came after filming for their family reality TV show was paused, after tensions at home put the shooting schedule into a tailspin.
The Daily Mail revealed the crew were booked back in December to start filming but tensions at Pickle Cottage became increasingly difficult to manage behind the cameras, with an insider revealing ‘there have been problems between Stacey and Joe.’
It later resumed with Stacey spotted shooting scenes for Stacey & Joe at Scotts Tulip Farm in Brentwood, a stone’s throw from her £1.2million home.
The BBC announced last month that it has given season three the green light and will continue to follow the couple’s blended family as they go about their day-to-day lives. The popular show follows their lives at Pickle Cottage with their children.
