Stacey Solomon has detailed her hidden struggle as she spent her day doing something special before watching her husband Joe Swash's return to I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here. After plenty of speculation he was joining the ITV reality show's new spin-off, it was confirmed that Joe did in fact head to South Africa last year to film the new series.
The former I'm A Celebrity King of the Jungle will be seen making his entrance during Tuesday night's episode (May 2) alongside fellow former EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney where they will then take on their first trial -
Joe 41, who was crowned the winner of the eighth series of the regular show, credits the experience for introducing him to his wife Stacey Solomon. "I’m A Celebrity holds a big place in my heart," he said before heading to the new setting of Kruger National Park, instead of the Australian jungle, in South Africa.

"I won it and I was lucky enough to go on to present the spin-off series on ITV2 for 10 years. I met Stacey whilst I was out in Australia and me and Stacey have now married and we have had kids. Doing the all-stars series is closure. It finishes off the circle."
But as Joe prepares to see himself back on the small screen, as I'm A Celebrity... South Africa was filmed back in September, Stacey hit the high street with their children as she experienced another proud moment in her career. Last week, the 33-year-old revealed her latatest kids collection with Primark.
Stacey shared then how she still worries before releasing a new collection. Sharing an adorable picture of her baby daughter Belle to her Instagram Story wearing a pink babygrow and matching tutu, the mum-of-five wrote: "Happy Friday. Today is a very exciting day...
"I can honestly say I get more nervous each time I get to do this because it's such a dream come true and I'm always scared I might get it 'wrong' or I don't know, just fail I suppose." She added: "But I'm so so proud and grateful for the chance I will always give it my everything."
The Sort Your Life Out host then shared a video of herself talking about the collection before showing some of the items and their spring designs. But her fans were soon left rushing to gush in the comments when she posted a string of snaps of her children wearing the clothes on their recent break to Abu Dhabi.
One picture showed little Belle, who was born in February, being held by her older brother Leighton while Zachary, who are both Stacey's sons from her previous relationships, held onto younger sister Rose, two. Meanwhile, three-year-old Rex stood in the middle and gave a double thumbs up to the camera as they all sported matching orange-patterned shirts and shorts.
And on Tuesday (May 2), as she headed to see the collection in all its glory in the store and in its own huge display window, Stacey typed to her millions of followers on her Instagram Story: "This morning we got up early and went to go to Primark to see our collection. I can honestly say this will never, ever feel real," alongside a crying emoji.
"All of our dreams and hard work in the window of our favourite shop," she went on to add as the video featured Rose and Rex peering their heads in the window where they could see the clothes on mannequins as well as their own pictures enlarged in the display. "My girls got up early too and came with to see it all."
In a follow-up post of Rose, one, and three-year-old Rex wearing a rainbow sweatshirt and white shorts from the collection outside the window of their local Primark, Stacey admitted: "Honestly this is just the biggest dream come true. I get massive imposter syndrome and I can't een believe that this is real.
"I'm so grateful and will never take for granted just how lucky I am to have this incredible opportunity and it's all thanks to you all for supporting me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I've seen al of your beautiful posts and tags and I'm loving watching every single one.
"I get goosebumps every time. I hope you love the collection as much as we've loved making it." The proud mum-of-five then concluded her post: "From all of us to the moon and back again. Thank you."
