Former EastEnders star Joe Swash has said that he and wife Stacey Solomon have spoken about fostering children in the future. The 41-year-old actor and TV presenter fronts new BBC documentary, Joe Swash: Teens in Care, on Tuesday, July 11 and explores the stories of teens in care over the age of 16.
“I do think [fostering] could be something we could look into,” Joe tells wife Stacey, 33, and she replies: “I know you want to do it.”
Joe adds: “I look at my mum and you can see how much joy and passion and pleasure she gets from Daniel.” Joe's mother, Kiffy, has been a foster carer for more than 11 years - Daniel came to live with her when he was seven. Now aged 18, he lives away while studying at university.
