Stacey Solomon and husband Joe Swash will return for a second series of their fly-on-the-wall reality TV series, the BBC has announced.

The first series of Stacey and Joe launched in April and followed the couple and their children, as well as their ducks and two dogs, during their day-to-day life at their Pickle Cottage home in Essex.

Across six episodes, viewers watched Solomon, 35, win a National Television Award (NTA) award for her reality show Sort Your Life Out, and Swash grapple with his ADHD diagnosis.

Solomon and Swash said: “The biggest thank you to every single person who watched the first series of Stacey And Joe… We’ve been so grateful for all the lovely messages and we’re so excited to bring out another series with the BBC.”

Stacey and Joe, series two, will also include footage of the couple taking a family trip.

Head of commissioning at BBC Documentaries, Clare Sillery, said: “We are delighted to be working with the Solomon Swash family and (production company) Optomen once again, on what already promises to be an incredibly exciting second series.

“It’s been great to see how viewers have taken Stacey, Joe, their kids and beloved pets to their hearts and series two will continue to honestly reflect their bustling lives at Pickle Cottage.”

Head of popular factual at Optomen, Charlotte Brookes, added: “We’re thrilled with how Series 1 performed and delighted to be able to continue filming the next chapter for Stacey and Joe, and their ever-growing family at Pickle Cottage.”
