Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash Clarify Son’s Absence from BBC Reality Show
Popular personalities Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have addressed the noticeable absence of one of their children from their new BBC reality series, ‘Stacey and Joe’. The couple, known for their blended family dynamic, have provided insights into why Joe’s son Harry, from a previous relationship, is not featured in the program. Speaking on the ‘Parenting Hell’ podcast, Swash explained that Harry, who is approaching his 18th birthday, currently lives with his mother, away from their family home, Pickle Cottage.
Viewer Inquiries Regarding Harry’s Non-Appearance
Harry’s absence from the series had sparked curiosity among viewers, leading to discussions across social media platforms. On X, formerly Twitter, users expressed their observations. One post highlighted the apparent omission of Harry, stating surprise at Swash referring to “5 kids” in the show’s introduction, seemingly overlooking his eldest son.
Another viewer questioned, “Where is the second oldest boy… is it Leighton? Why is he not on show?”, indicating further public interest in the family’s composition as portrayed on screen.
Stacey Solomon Anticipates Son Zachary’s Increased Household Contributions
Solomon, a mother to two sons from previous relationships, including 17-year-old Zachary, shared her eagerness for him to take on more responsibilities around the house. She discussed this in the context of their busy school routine, mentioning Zachary’s upcoming Driving Theory Test. Passing the test could mean Zachary will soon be assisting with driving duties, according to reports.
Solomon conveyed her enthusiasm, stating, “I can’t wait,” and anticipating the added assistance at home. “I’m going to have someone to help with grocery shopping. He’s going to be able to manage his own school journeys. Life is about to become much easier.”

Fan Reactions to the Couple’s Domestic Life
Many viewers resonated with Solomon’s sentiments, suggesting it was time for Swash to increase his efforts and relinquish any perceived “liability” label within their household.
The couple’s sometimes disorganised home life has prompted some viewers to describe their relationship dynamics as “very unusual and dysfunctional.”
One outspoken observer humorously commented, “It’s a minor miracle that Stacey Solomon hasn’t murdered Joe Swash by now,” reflecting on their contrasting approaches to household management.
Despite often feeling overwhelmed by Swash’s relaxed approach, Solomon confessed to occasional envy: “I just don’t think he analyses things. Whereas I feel like I spend my life pondering, ‘Have I done that, did I remember that … I don’t know’,” she reflected. “When I return [from thinking], I aspire to be Joe Swash. It’s a simple life.”
