Stacey and Joe share two children together - one-year-old Rose and three-year-old Rex. Joe is also dad to son Harry from a previous relationship and Stacey is also mum to sons Zach and Leighton. It comes after Stacey shared her annual Christmas card picture last week, which showed herself, her two youngest and their dogs Peanut and Teddy sitting on a sleigh.

She joked that 'there’s too many of us to manage', when explaining the absence of her fellow loved ones. Previously, Stacey said that she and Joe often struggle to see each other due to their busy professional lives.

Stacey said: "Joe and I can be like ships passing in the night ... When I work he looks after the kids, and when he works I have the kids."

The X Factor favourite told Mail Online: "We’re very different people but when we strip everything back, what it all comes down to is our family."

Joe and Stacey wed at their home Pickle Cottage in the summer while surrounded by close friends and family. Stacey looked stunning in an off-white princess gown as she danced with Joe, 40, to Whitney Houston's My Love Is Your Love at their wedding.

Sharing a clip of their first dance back in August, Stacey wrote: "Our First Dance. I’m so lucky to have you by my side. Today, Tomorrow, Forever. We got to see some of our videos today and it was magical. It’s so nice to have had time to remember our wedding in our heads and tell each other our different memories & favourite moments.

"Then to see it all on video was just the most special feeling ever. Hope this makes your heart happy the way it did us. Joe speaking to me in the middle is my favourite bit."
