Stacey Solomon says Joe Swash kept huge career decision from her

Stacey Solomon has said her husband is about to become her competition, and he didn't even tell her about it.

The Loose Women panelist released her second book, Tap to Tidy at Pickle Cottage, on Thursday (September 29). But her husband, Joe Swash, neglected to tell her that he is also bringing out a book, meaning they'll both be competing for high places in the book charts in the run-up to Christmas.

Joe's book, Joe's Kitchen, comes out on October 13. It comes after the 40-year-old made it to the final of Celebrity Masterchef last year.

Speaking to Rob Beckett and Josh Widdecombe on the Parenting Hell podcast, mum-of-four Stacey said the first she knew of her husband's new career move was when he posted about it on social media.

Stacey said: "He doesn't tell me anything, and then he'll post on Instagram 'I've got a cookbook out'. I'm like 'Babe, you could have told me', and he's like 'Oh, yeah'."

Joe's new book is billed as "Homemade meals for a happy family", while Stacey has described hers as being "like a DIY version of a cookbook".

The two, who were married in July, share a £1.2m Pickle Cottage home together with their blended family - Rex and Rose, who they have together as well as Zachery, Leighton and Harry who they each have with previous partners.
