Joe Swash has revealed his brand new BBC role – and it doesn’t feature his wife Stacey Solomon<\/a>. Instead, the former EastEnders<\/a> man is going solo for his latest project.<\/p>\n Joe, 43, is making a one-hour long documentary for BBC<\/a> three and BBC iPlayer<\/a>. The show is set to feature on fatherhood and is titled Joe Swash<\/a> : Britain’s Young Dads.<\/p>\n Joe is a father of three young children, Rex, Rose and Belle, as well as being a step-dad to wife Stacey’s sons Zachary and Leighton from previous relationships. He also has a son called Harry from a previous relationship too.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Dec Donnelly in hysterics over 50th birthday gift from Ant McPartlin that he won’t keep<\/a>READ MORE: Harry Styles gives clear sign on Zoe Kravitz relationship after Berlin support<\/a> The new documentary will see Joe, who became a father in his mid-twenties, follow others in his situation. It will see the former actor reflect on his own path into fatherhood, while sparking conversations regarding masculinity.<\/p>\n Speaking of the project, Joe told The Sun: “We don\u2019t often hear from \u2013 or talk about \u2013 young dads in the UK. It\u2019s been eye-opening to meet the young men behind the statistics.<\/p>\n “The ones working hard to create a good future for their kids. I feel lucky that we\u2019ve been able to help tell their stories and hopefully we can get people thinking a bit differently about young dads.”<\/p>\n It comes months after Joe opened up on his Channel 4<\/a> series Batch from Scratch: Cooking for Less getting a second run<\/a>. Joe, who works alongside batch-cooking expert Suzanne Mulholland, on the project, pulled in more than a million viewers for its first run earlier this year,.<\/p>\n And in July it was revealed the the success of the show meant it was worth ordered a second take. The duo will combine for another six episodes for next year.<\/p>\n Joe and Suzanne told the Mirror<\/a> at the time: \u201cWe\u2019re both excited to keep spreading the word about the power of batch cooking and look forward to teaming up again to transform the lives of families around the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n Joe <\/a>is the main cook for his family, and his skills are often seen in their reality TV seres. In their latest episode of their reality show on BBC, the duo admit to “arguing all the time”.<\/p>\n The couple were seen trying to get organised for a trip to Switzerland, where they were gearing up for a ski holiday. Stacey started to get impatient as she lamented that Joe had “a hundred pairs of socks” as well as a host of other unnecessary items. She said, “The less I know about Joe, the better!”<\/p>\n And then when she found out that Joe’s suitcase still had clothes in from the last holiday they went on, she fumed: “Babe, dirty washing from holiday.<\/p>\n “That must stink! That is actually disgusting. You\u2019re going to put this in our wardrobe and it\u2019s going to stink.”<\/p>\n Like this story?
