Joe Swash has opened up about his shopping addiction and how it has caused him to spend “pointless” money, which he knows will irritate his wife Stacey Solomon tonight before making an appearance on Blankety Blank.
EastEnders’ Joe Swash has opened up about his “addiction” to online shopping on TikTok, which he fears could land him in “big trouble” with his wife, Loose Women’s Stacey Solomon.
The TV star openly acknowledged that he frequently falls for items sold at low prices but ends up buying them in bulk, a fact he believes is influenced by his ADHD, and expressed his concerns about the financial impact of his frequent impulse purchases.
ADHD, as described by the NHS website, means your brain functions in a different fashion, leading to difficulties with concentration and sitting still.
Additionally, the condition can lead to an increased tendency to act impulsively, such as while shopping.
Joe confessed that his most recent purchase, a slingshot chicken finger toy, caught his attention while planning family time for his and Stacey’s brood, including their children Rex, Rose, Belle, and Joe’s Harry, along with Stacey’s sons Zachary and Leighton from previous relationships, on Tom Price’s “My Mate Bought A Toaster” podcast.
Joe eagerly admitted to buying 20 of them for Tom. The host, who also has ADHD, said, “There’s going to be a slingshot chicken off when daddy gets home, so everyone’s going to be able to have a go.”
There will definitely be, Joe quipped. Or Stacey will cause me serious trouble because I simply cheated up money on another pointless product.
When asked about his spending habits, the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! champ confessed: “Yeah. I think the trap that I fall into is that because I feel like I buy stuff at a low price, I forget about the quantity of stuff that I’m getting.
So instead of spending hundreds of dollars on three or four items that might be really expensive but still be useful, I’ll spend more on small things.
Joe acknowledged that getting his wife’s support during online shopping hits and misses was difficult because “she’s not comfortable with my TikTok addiction. She therefore refuses to participate in it.
The TV star, who is currently receiving treatment for ADHD, said, “I’ve just been diagnosed with it, so I’m sort of new to it. So I’ve started the medication and stuff like that, so I’m not really sure [about it].
He humorously stated, “I lost the medication, I believe, it’s all swings and roundabouts. Therefore, I had to place an additional order for the medication.
