Where It All Began

When Stacey sang her way to the final of The X Factor in 2009, she was already mum to her first "pickle" as she affectionately calls her children, Zachary, who was a year old at the time. In 2012 she gave birth to her second son, Leighton, and managed to juggle life as a busy mum and her singing career, as well as presenting the likes of ITV2's Top Dog Model.

In 2016 she delighted I'm A Celebrity fans by starting a relationship with Jungle King Joe Swash, who won the series two years before her.

"Me and Stacey, we love I'm A Celebrity. We've got a great affinity with the show," Joe said recently. "We both went on it, we both won it. We both met each other on it! "And when we look at our kids, it's all because of the jungle, really."

In May 2019 they welcomed their first "pickle" together, Rex (Stacey is also step-mum to Harry, Joe's teenage son). The following year she announced her engagement to the Dancing On Ice champ after a romantic woodland proposal.

 

"With Joe and our boys in my favourite place in the world, he asked me to marry him. After crying for what felt like a very long time I said yes," she said.
