Stacey Solomon explains why she hasn't been watching Joe Swash on I'm A Celebrity

Stacey Solomon has admitted she and husband Joe Swash forgot he was on I'm A Celebrity... South Africa as they've both got "baby brain."

Stacey, 33, and Joe, 41, welcomed their third child, Belle, in February, with Joe filming the I'm A Celebrity special beforehand, which sees legends from past seasons reunite.

This past week ITV viewers have watched Joe tackle challenges in the South African camp, after he and fellow latecomer Dean Gaffney joined the likes of Carol Vorderman and Phil Tuffnell.

But Stacey and Joe, who also share Rex, two and Rose, two forgot to watch Joe in the special edition.

Speaking on Instagram, the mum-of-five said: "I will be honest with you both of us forgot he was even in it, so we missed it yesterday."

Laughing, Stacey explained the pair would be watching the show in bed together.

"He filmed it so long ago and we've both got baby brain right now and completely forgot about it," she explained.

Previously speaking about what the show meant to him, Joe said: "I’m A Celebrity holds a big place in my heart. I won it and I was lucky enough to go on to present the spin-off series on ITV2 for ten years.

"I met Stacey whilst I was out in Australia and me and Stacey have now married and we have had kids.

He added: "Stacey is over the moon about me doing it. The jungle holds a big part in both our hearts. Without the jungle, we wouldn’t have each other. In a way, we owe it to the jungle to say goodbye."

Joe also confirmed his ideal campmate, of course, would have been his wife Stacey, as he admitted doing the show was like full circle for him as it meant so much to the whole of his family and his kids.

"I can’t express enough my gratitude for the fact I met Stacey on the back of it, had my kids and it gave me a whole different direction with my career."

Stacey and Joe have both been very busy of late with Stacey returning to work, and recently sharing behind the scenes snaps from her photoshoot, for her latest collection with In The Style.

Sharing a photo of her dog Teddy standing in her garden with a blossoming tree, on Instagram, Stacey wrote: "Me and Teddy were up early and out by Theo's blossom tree this morning setting up my mirror because I am shooting my first collection back from maternity...

"I just couldn't not take the pictures out here it's so pretty."

The TV presenter also showed off some of her favourite items from her collection, including floral dresses and a crochet jumper for the summer.

The former X-Factor singer also shared a picture of the mirror used in the photoshoot being set up in her garden, Stacey writing: "This is what it looked like behind the mirror where I took my photos."
