With five children between them, Christmas in the Solomon-Swash household can be hectic, but Joe Swash tells Woman’s Own he wouldn’t have it any other way. ‘It can be really challenging sometimes, but times like Christmas you think, “I was made for having five kids,” it’s just so brilliant,’ the star, 40, admits as we catch up about his latest campaign with HelloFresh.
It’s been a busy year for Joe and Stacey, 33. Along with raising their children - Joe’s son Harry, 15, Stacey’s sons Zachary, 14, Leighton, 10, and their younger children Rex, three, and Rose, one - the pair got married this summer and have continued to transform their Essex home, dubbed Pickle Cottage. Here, Joe lets us into their Christmas plans, what the kids are hoping for this year and why he loves being the chef of the family.
Hi Joe, are you excited about Christmas?
I’m so excited. I’m like a big kid when it comes to Christmas. I love giving presents. I was on Amazon today looking at all the different Hot Wheels for Rex, he wants some dressing- up costumes too. Rose loves her dolly and her pram, so I’ll get her something like that. It will be the first time I’m buying little girls’ stuff!
Has having a girl made Christmas any different?
