Fast forward to 2010. Stacey ditched the microphone for a sink full of rice and cockroaches. She joined I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. And this, my friends, is where the legend really began.
She wasn’t the loudest or the toughest in the jungle. Instead, she became the camp mum. She organized the washing, made sure everyone had a cuddle, and cried about missing her son, Zachary, in a way that made the whole nation want to adopt her. She won the whole thing, obviously.
Let’s Talk About That Love Life
After the jungle, Stacey dated a few lads, but nothing stuck until Joe Swash came along. You know Joe—the cheeky chappie from EastEnders who used to present I’m a Celebrity’s spin-off show. They met when she was on the show, and it was the kind of slow-burn romance that would make a romantic comedy jealous.
They became the couple you root for—the one that makes you shout, “Just kiss already!” at your TV. They eventually did, and now they have a proper little blended family (Joe’s son, her three boys, and their baby girl, Rose). It’s chaotic, messy, and absolutely adorable.
