Thanks to a lot of hard work, TV star Stacey and husband Joe Swash are both down to earth and milionnaires.
Stacey Solomon says being underestimated no longer makes her angry because she can use it to her advantage. The TV star and businesswoman, 36, has amassed a multi-million pound fortune and is admired by fans around the UK for her down-to-earth attitude.
Speaking about defying the expectations of others, she told Good Housekeeping UK : “The thing is, I come from Dagenham and I’ve still got the accent. I didn’t have a private education. I’m blonde. I’m of a happy disposition most of the time. Those characteristics label me as stupid. It used to make me angry, but now I use it to my advantage. If I’m underestimated, I can only impress people. The truth is that most of the time I’m just winging it and faking it till I make it.”
According to reports in April, Stacey had £9.7m in her business accounts thanks to TV series and brand endorsements and business investments. And there have now been two series of BBC ’s Stacey & Joe reality series with husband Joe Swash as well as previously fronting Channel 4 show Renovation Rescue.
Stacey acknowledged that it wasn’t always easy, despite continuing to surprise people with her success and standing well on screen and in business. Being a strong woman with a career is a f*ing struggle, she continued.
You can be successful as a woman in this industry while earning significantly less than a man. Making a name for itself in this sector is a f****** success. Please excuse my swearing. However, it ought to be celebrated.
It’s difficult to accept that you can’t control everything, especially if you’re ambitious and frequently feel like a powerful woman. When something is beyond your control, it can be very intimidating. I’m always worried, but [now] I’m much more adept at feeling confident.
Stacey and Joe married in 2022 and have been together nine years. They are set to film more of their home life for the BBC. After rising to fame on the X Factor in 2009, Loose Women star Stacey has become a national treasure and is best known for her bubbly personality and as the Instagram DIY queen.
She keeps her social media followers in the loop as she has transformed Pickle Cottage into a family home. As well as her dream home which features in the series, Stacey has the dream family life too with former EastEnders actor fiancé Joe Swash, and her five children; Zachary, 17, Leighton, 13, Rex, six, Rose, four, and Belle, two.
Stacey referred to the myth of the perfect marriage, which she claimed didn’t know existed despite the fact that Joe eventually remembered the happy times. How is it possible for you and your husband not get married? That is a pipe dream! Although we do have assistance, our house is not fully equipped.
Dad looks after the kids while my mother will wash them. We constantly argue over what needs to be done, Joe and I. Everything is a kerfuffle because there are five children in that time, three of whom are young.
We share the same morals and values, and, according to her, “we’ll eventually remember why we got together in the first place. Even if we do have a few months of, “F***king hell, I can’t even look at you right now.”
