Joe Swash shares 'hate' admission about family dynamic with Stacey Solomon as she makes 'definitely not' vow
Joe Swash has made a 'hate' admission when it comes to his life in a blended family with Stacey Solomon. The couple recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary with Stacey sharing the sweet way they marked 12 months since tying the knot.
