Stacey Solomon has been spotted enjoying a festive night out at Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland with her kids but her husband Joe Swash was noticeably missing from the family outing.
The TV star’s solo appearance at the opening night of the Christmas fun fair in London on Wednesday comes after the couple sparked concern among fans last week, following reports of their alleged ‘explosive row’ in the street.
The Sort Your Life Out star, who is currently making a new reality series with her hubby Joe, was seen in tears after Joe furiously walked down the road alone, puffing on a vape.
The mum-of-five appeared to be comforted by a member of the camera crew that the couple had with them, as an onlooker told The Sun: “Joe came out of a building on his own and stormed off down the street, he looked upset and was sitting on some steps for a while. Stacey came out of the building in tears and she looked really emotional, she was hugging someone.”
They added: “About 15 minutes later Joe was having an animated talk with the man. Eventually Stacey walked towards Joe in the car and shouted something. They ended up leaving separately. It all looked very tense.”
The couple, who live at Pickle Cottage with their blended family of six kids, captured fans hearts in 2022 with their fairytale wedding. Stacey and Joe regularly share insights into their marriage and family life on social media, from their hilarious pranks they play to the ways they annoy one another.

However, fans have never quite seen them in this light before. A separate source has now claimed that Stacey and Joe’s public argument was ‘genuine’, suggesting it was likely down to the strain of filming their upcoming reality show, according to reports from OK!
Stacey then jetted out to Vegas for a ‘much needed girls trip’ with Space NK and praised her pals while away from home, saying: “They literally lift me up, have my back, keep me going, make me feel so supported & I just couldn’t do life without them.”
Despite the alleged fall out with Joe, he greeted her with an adorable handmade sign and their young kids in the airport on Monday as she arrived home.
Speculation has risen once again after Joe’s absence from the family’s festive outing at Winter Wonderland where Stacey was snapped alongside her kids, Zachary, 16, Leighton, 12, and Rex, four, with her two younger kids Rose, three, and one-year-old Belle also missing from the event.
The former X-Factor star attended the event with her older sister Jemma, who brought along her kids Darcy, 10, Mila, eight, and Hudson, five.
The group appeared to make the most of their evening at the amusement park as they enjoyed the rides and won prizes at the amusement stalls with Stacey taking to Instagram to share snaps as she wrote she was ‘so grateful’ for their evening.
Rumours of the couple’s anticipated BBC reality show, thought to be titled Escape to Pickle Cottage, is set to follow Stacey, Joe and their six children’s busy lives at their lavish Essex home and beyond.
Given their extensive fan base, fans have been very excited about the prospect of this unfiltered glimpse into life at Pickle Cottage. But a source from OK! claims that it has been a much harder project for Stacey than she first anticipated.
They explained: “It’s really starting to show the strain between her and Joe – she wanted this more than him and he’s not as comfortable being filmed 24/7. When Stacey signed up for the reality show she had no idea how much pressure she would be under.”
