They may look like they are leading the perfect life in Pickle Cottage, but Stacey Solomon has candidly opened up about the reality of her life with Joe Swash and says it “isn’t all rainbows and roses”.

In a recent interview, the Loose Women star, 33, who married Joe, 40, in a fairy-tale wedding at their Essex home in the summer, said that it’s good for her to be honest about the tough times they go through, and that she’s glad she opened up about suffering miscarriages in the past.

“It was almost a relief to say it,” the star said. “It’s something one in three women will experience and yet there’s still a stigma around it. You ask yourself, ‘Am I allowed to be sad about this?’ And then you worry about oversharing – but there is definitely something about finding common ground with people who have had the same experience.”
