A decision has been made about the future of Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash’s reality TV show following reports of friction between the couple.

Fans of Stacey & Joe can breathe a sigh of relief as their hit series is said to be officially returning for a third season.

Filming is set to begin soon at their Essex home, Pickle Cottage, with the new instalment expected to air before the end of 2026.

A TV insider told The Sun: “There’s a definite hunger for these celebrity-based At Home With…-style shows, with both Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy also getting their versions. But Stacey, with hubby Joe, is blazing a trail.”

The BBC One series gives viewers a glimpse into the couple’s blended family life with their five children, filled with laughter, DIY chaos and the occasional clash of personalities.

Solomon and Swash’s easy chemistry — and occasional disagreements — have made the show a surprise hit, drawing in audiences who find their dynamic refreshingly real.

BBC documentaries commissioner Clare Sillery previously praised the pair’s appeal, saying: “It’s been great to see how viewers have taken Stacey, Joe, their kids and beloved pets to their hearts.”

The third series adds to what’s already been a busy year for Solomon. Her home makeover programme Sort Your Life Out recently aired its fifth series, cementing her reputation as one of the hardest-working and most relatable faces on television.

Despite juggling multiple projects, the Loose Women star even managed to fill in for her former mentor Simon Cowell at Britain’s Got Talent auditions in Birmingham when he was forced to sit it out due to sickness.

It was something of a full-circle moment for Solomon, who first found fame in front of Cowell on The X Factor in 2009 before going on to win I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and become one of the UK’s most in-demand presenters.

Between filming commitments, family life, and spontaneous guest appearances, it seems there’s little that can slow her down.

As one insider put it, “If Britain’s Got Talent managed to find a day when Stacey wasn’t busy, that’s the real miracle.”
