Joe Swash has given fans a glimpse inside his recent summer holiday with Stacey Solomon and their family, following an exciting career update. The former EastEnders star travelled to Turkey with his wife and their children — Rex, Rose and Belle — as well as Stacey's older sons Zachary and Leighton, and her family, including dad David and sister Jemma.
Family holiday in Turkey
When they were seen heading off on their summer break, Stacey's eldest son was not with them after she said an emotional goodbye to him at the start of July, revealing he was heading to Camp America. Days later, Stacey posted an emotional video on Instagram showing Zachary surprising his younger siblings as he joined them on holiday.
As their trip ended last weekend, Stacey shared a heartwarming family photo of her, Joe and all their children. The family were all smiles as they sat on a Turkish beach. She wrote: "A rare picture of all of us, in fact the only picture. I look like a Mole but I'm taking it. To the moon and back family, making memories with you is my favourite thing to do."
