Stacey Solomon has confirmed that the current series of her BBC show, Stacey and Joe, is the last to be filmed at Pickle Cottage, as the family prepares to leave their Essex home.
The 37-year-old Loose Women star and her husband Joe Swash, 44, spoke about the new series during an appearance on Tuesday's (November 10) edition of The One Show, where presenters Alex Jones and Roman Kemp discussed the changes in the Solomon-Swash household.
Alex confirmed: "I'm loving it already, I've seen all three episodes, watched them all back to back, no messing. But it is the last series at Pickle Cottage", as Stacey nodded in agreement.
Family's move to a rural property
The new series follows the family as they leave behind Pickle Cottage and relocate to a rural property. Stacey and Joe have been together for ten years, having first got together in 2016 before marrying in 2022. The couple has three children, Rex, Rose and Belle, while Stacey is also mother to older sons Leighton and Zachary from previous relationships. Joe also has a son, Harry, from a former relationship.
During the interview, Roman turned the conversation to Zachary's plans to leave the family home, asking: "Your eldest Zachery is looking at leaving home in this series."
Stacey responded: "God, that sounds really dramatic." She went on to say: "He wanted to do Camp America; well, actually, I convinced him to do it, and that sounds counterproductive because I just want my kids to stay at home forever and be with us.
"I absolutely love their company, but also I want them to see the world outside of our microclimate of a family, and so I strongly encouraged him to go to Camp America and leave us for the whole summer, and that was weird."
Filming the final series at Pickle Cottage
Joe added: "It was the first time we weren't a whole unit; we'd lost one of us, and it didn't feel right", as Stacey chipped in: "And Zach's really helpful."
Stacey and Joe first opened the doors to their Essex property last year, offering insight into their partnership, busy schedules, and family life as they raise three youngsters together, alongside three from their previous relationships.
In the latest series, audiences will see Stacey balancing motherhood, while Joe finally pursues his dream of creating his own fishing lake and business venture. The programme is now in its third series and the pair have yet to announce whether another run of BBC's Stacey and Joe will follow.
The One Show airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer, while Stacey and Joe airs on Tuesdays at 8pm on BBC One, with the series also on iPlayer.
