“Our biggest concern was being boring!” laughed Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash ahead of the first run of their reality series Stacey & Joe.

They needn't have worried. The pair are old hands at the genre, having appeared on The X Factor, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and Sort Your Life Out - so inviting cameras into the home they share with their blended family of six children and a menagerie of pets was always going to be a ratings winner.

“We are not the only ones in this position, that have got a massive family, juggling so many things, and we just wanted to show the reality of it,” says Joe. “We're only showing what we do day-to-day, we're not glamorising it, we're not making it look spectacular. It is what it is.”
