Stacey Solomon has opened up about having to curb one aspect of husband Joe Swash’s personality, particularly after an uncomfortable encounter with one of the Spice Girls.
Speaking on the NewlyWeds podcast, the 35-year-old revealed her husband has a penchant for “kissing his family on the lips”, before ordering him to “nip it in the bud”.
“I don’t snog them or anything. I’d kiss both of you on the lips,” Joe explained to hosts Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo, justifying his behaviour.
Stacey recounted a particular incident: “He kisses everyone on the lips, by the way. We did have to nip it in the bud really early on because we were at Loose Women and Emma Bunton was on as a guest, and he went up to her and planted one on her.”
In his defence, Joe, 43, insisted he knew the Spice Girl well enough to warrant a kiss, prompting Stacey to assert: “I can just about draw the line at your sisters, right, but Emma Bunton is a hard no! You can’t snog Emma Bunton!”

Joe laughed off the situation while adding: “It’s not a snog. It’s just a slightly uncomfortable peck.”
However, Stacey stood firm, responding: “It’s too much.”
The TV presenter has previously discussed Joe’s behaviour with her Loose Women colleagues, eventually concluding that his actions are friendly rather than flirtatious, reports the Manchester Evening News.
“After that I realised it wasn’t any flirting to be worried about, if that makes sense,” she shared on the show.
The couple’s romance blossomed following Stacey’s victorious 2010 run on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! At the time, her now-husband was co-hosting its side show, I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp, along with the late Caroline Flack.

Years have passed since and the couple are happily married with a brood of three: Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, two. In addition to their young family, Stacey brings her teenage boys Zachary and Leighton from previous relationships, and Joe also has a son in his teens, Harry.
It was the older kids who convinced them to embark on their BBC reality TV series Stacey & Joe.
The series offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the daily mayhem at their residence known as Pickle Cottage, which followers might recognise from Stacey’s Instagram posts.

Speaking about their latest venture, Joe commented: “Over the years, we’ve been asked a lot to do a show like this, but getting the opportunity to work with the BBC and [production company] Optomen felt properly exciting.
“There will be the normal madness of a family with lots of kids, plenty of animals and two busy parents. Here we go!”
