BBC<\/a> fans have switched off minutes into Stacey Solomon’s<\/a> new reality show Stacey & Joe. The doors to Pickle Cottage were thrown open on Tuesday night (April 1) with the Loose Women panellist’s new fly-on-the-wall documentary inside her family home.<\/p>\n

The six-part series follows the life of Stacey and the former EastEnders<\/a> star Joe Swash and their children, four ducks and two dogs and gives fans a refreshing insight into their modern blended family life. But fans weren’t impressed by the couple’s new reality show as they flooded to X – formerly known as Twitter – to share their complaints online.<\/p>\n

One user fumed: “Stacey & Joe. F**k sake @BBCOne stop wasting our licence fee #staceyandjoe” as another agreed: “I’m sorry byt who the f**k signed this off? #Stacey&Joe.”<\/p>\n

A third echoed: “Just looked on BBC<\/a> One and there’s a ‘reality’ show called Stacey & Joe. Why are people so obsessed with watching utter crap like this?” A fourth agreed: “Why on earth are @BBCOne commissioning this absolute trash. What a colossal waste of public money #staceyandjoe.”<\/p>\n

A fifth chimed in with: “The TV license goes up and what do the @BBC<\/a> give us in return? Stacey and Joe, two empty headed morons living an uninteresting life. Stop making stupid people famous #staceyandjoe.”<\/p>\n

Despite the backlash, the couple certainly didn’t shy away from the realities of married life, openly sharing their silly arguments on the six-part show. The couple first started datin back in 2016, and have since started a bustling family, tied the knit and moved into a charming Essex cottage which they transformed into their dream home.<\/p>\n

In anticipation of the BBC<\/a> programme, Joe reminisced about his first encounter with Stacey after her I’m A Celebrity win back in 2010 when he was hosting the spin-off show.<\/p>\n

Sharing the meory on camera, he chuckled: “I was like a weird little stalker watching from afar. The day that she won the jungle, I remember thinking, ‘Right, I’m going to meet her now’.”<\/p>\n

Describing the memorable scene, Joe continued: “The sun was lit from the back of her head, she was walking across the bridge, the wind was blowing. I was thinking, ‘this is like a film!’ Then she came over, and the first thing that hit me was the smell.<\/p>\n

“I’ve never smelt nothing like it in all my life! I’ve smelt so many people coming out of that jungle and thought, ‘Oh, they smell a bit pongy’. Stacey was on a different level!”<\/p>\n

Stacey & Joe airs on Tuesdays from 8pm on BBC<\/a> One or catch up on BBC<\/a> iPlayer.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BBC fans have switched off minutes into Stacey Solomon’s new reality show Stacey & Joe.
