Stacey Solomon is ‘putting her foot down’ & ‘ordered’ Joe Swash to ‘sort his life out’ – as they reveal huge new TV gig
STACEY Solomon is ‘putting her foot down’ and has ‘ordered’ Joe Swash to ‘sort his life out’ for 2025, a source claims.
Not only this, but Stacey, 35, wants she and Joe to “be more of a team”.
It comes just days after Stacey and Joe, 42, announced their huge new TV gig.
The Loose Women presenter, who last year launched a kids’ range at Primark, revealed that she and Joe will star in a new TV documentary series following their life with five kids.
But the Sort Your Life Out host, who has made a career out of helping people declutter their homes, is said to want the same for her huge £1.2 million home, Pickle Cottage, which has its own library and 2.5 acres of land.
An insider told Closer: “Stacey is a firm believer that a messy house creates a messy mind. She finds herself completely overwhelmed and anxious if things aren’t in order.
“She’s been ruthless this year at Pickle Cottage, completely decluttering the house from top to bottom.
“She’s been hoping that Joe will follow her lead and start trying to sort his life out at home, too.
“She has joked about how messy he is and that opposites attract, but the reality is that seeing his stuff laying around their bedroom can drive her mad.”
But with six children between them – Harry, 17, Zachary, 16, Leighton, 12, Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, one – multiple jobs, four ducks and two dogs, it’s no surprise that this relatable mum wants to keep things as organised as possible.
According to this source, Stacey, who recently teased ‘big changes she’s always dreamed of’, the mum-of-five is “putting her foot down” in a bid to get Joe to “get his act together”.
The source added: “She does a lot for him, but in the New Year she’s going to really put her foot down and tell him to get his act together, start organising his clothes more and get rid of any unwanted stuff from his “man cave”.”
The source claimed that the blonde beauty has joked about her husband having countless hoodies and T-shirts that “all look the same”.
Not only this, but according to the source, Joe also has “gadgets that he’s never used” and “gardening tools collecting dust”.
She wants them to be more of a team, so it’s not always about her nagging him and instead about getting him onto the same page as her in 2025

The insider recognised: “She’s ordered him to do an inventory of it all and completely sort the house with her.
“She wants them to be more of a team, so it’s not always about her nagging him and instead about getting him onto the same page as her in 2025.”

Not only this, but according to this insider, Stacey, who first came on the scene thanks to The X Factor in 2009, is keen to start 2025 with “a clean slate and no baggage”.
The source claimed that anything that is “no longer serving her” will be “out of her life”.
Whether that’s past insecurities or a bunch of toys that her kids no longer play with, the source claimed that Stacey “wants rid of it”.
Not only does this savvy mum thrive when feeling “calm and strong”, but so long as she has “her home in order”, she feels like she can handle “just about anything.”
