Stacey Solomon 'battling with anxiety' weeks before wedding to Joe Swash

Stacey Solomon is said to be battling anxiety just weeks before her wedding to Joe Swash.

The loved-up couple, who have been together since 2016, are due to tie the knot on July 25 - after Joe accidently revealed the date on Loose Women.

But as the big day approaches Stacey - who has spoken candidly about her struggles with anxiety and crippling panic attacks in the past - is starting to feel the pressure.

Pals say the 32-year-old is panicking about every detail as the last-minute preparations pile up.

And the wedding dress outfit she wore to the BAFTAs last week has sparked even more interest in her nuptials.

A source told Closer magazine: “Stacey’s been so excited to tie the knot, but as the date draws closer and the last-minute prep piles up – as well as public interest gathering pace – it’s made her quite anxious.

“She’s started to panic about everything, from her guest list to her dress and the fans’ reaction to it – which is what prompted her BAFTA bridal look.”

The insider said Stacey thought wearing a white wedding dress would take the attention off her actual gown.

But it’s actually had the opposite effect and now Stacey is feeling more pressure than ever to get her wedding look right.

Before heading out to the BAFTAs – for which Stacey’s BBC show Sort Your Life Out was nominated for an award – her and Joe fooled fans into thinking they had secretly got married.

She posted a photo of Joe in a smart suit and bowtie. While she wore a white 1920s inspired wedding style dress encrusted with pearls.

Sharing the snap with her 5.2 million Instagram followers, Stacey wrote: “Here we go.

“Off to the Baftas with my best mate. Couldn’t do any of it without you. Never felt so nervous & proud.”

Fans were quick to comment on the post saying "thought you'd got married". While another said: “At first glance I thought you’d had a secret wedding!”

Although exact details of Stacey and Joe’s wedding have been kept under wraps, they have revealed some things about their big day.

Instead of a church, they managed to obtain a special marriage licence so they could have the ceremony in their garden at Pickle Cottage.

Once they have exchanged vows under a pergola, guests will eat dinner in an outdoor area of the garden.

Later on in the evening Stacey has said she “really wants a karaoke” for the entertainment.
