Stacey Solomon slams husband Joe Swash's 'sheer audacity' over gift for 'health kick'

Stacey Solomon slammed her husband Joe Swash as he gave her a "terrible" present amid her fitness journey. The Loose Women star, 35, has been open about her weight loss journey and admitted she's "so proud" of herself.

She revealed she has stuck to weight training since February, explaining: "I genuinely only do it because I want to be so strong." The mum-of-five has been wanting to build her strength and showed off her impressive results while on holiday this summer.

However, Stacey clashed with Joe after he gave her a gift that he thought would help her journey. For Mother's Day, Joe gifted her a calorie counting scale that was not well received by the TV star.

He said it was something that would help her on her "health kick," but Stacey was far from impressed. She fumed: "I would never measure my calories!

"I would never measure my calories. Who the hell wants a calorie counter for Mother's Day? What are you trying to say? And also, it's the sheer audacity that you think that I have the time to weigh my food!"

The mum to Rex, five, Rose, three, Belle, two, with her husband Joe, 43, and also mum to Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 12, from past relationships previously shared her nerves about wearing bikinis.

Yet, this summer Stacey shared stunning photos as she took a dip under a waterfall. In her candid post, Stacey shared: "Feeling beautiful my sister hyped me up today & made me feel really pretty so I’m posting these.

"I love you Jem also my 3 day blow dry made it to the pool cave for at least 3 mins #buzzing." Stacey opened up on her fitness regime as she added: "P.S my body looks a little different to last years summer holiday.

"I am actually so proud of myself because I’ve stuck to my weight training consistently since February. Kept quiet and just got my head down & kept going. I genuinely only do it because I want to be so strong.

"Like boss b**** strong. I want to forever be able to pick up my babies with ease & carry double buggies on my shoulder when necessary.

"I feel so much stronger this year which is so empowering & yes my body has changed but honestly I loved my body aesthetically last year as much as I do this year. I’ve always been beautiful no matter what shape or size."

She concluded: "So I suppose what I’m trying to say is… Don’t commit to fitness just for the looks. Do it so you can wrestle your 17 year old & carry all three of your toddlers in 40 heat & you’ll enjoy the journey more."

Stacey converted a barn at her Pickle Cottage into a gym following the birth of her daughter Rose in 2023. She has also had the love and support from her older sister Samantha, who is a personal trainer.

While Stacey has admitted she still finds exercising tough and like she is "going to die" when does it, she said the feeling she gets after a work out is worth it.
