Meant to be: ‘A few months ago we saw a house that we couldn’t even believe was on the market and in the same budget as our house now. There were SO many signs’ 

‘Honestly you guys are the best I just can’t explain.’

Stacey is mother to Zachary, 12, and eight-year-old Leighton – who she has from previous relationships – as well as her and Joe’s 22-month-old son Rex. 

Joe also has a son, Harry, 13, from a former relationship.

It’s been a busy time for the former X Factor star as she’s recently launched her new book Tap To Tidy, and she’s set to star in her very own home improvement show. 

She’s also planning her summer wedding to ex EastEnders star Joe after he popped the question on Christmas Eve last year.

Stacey reportedly wants her pregnant best friend Sophie Hinchliffe – aka Mrs Hinch – to be a bridesmaid on the big day. 

While she previously revealed that her pet dogs, Theo and Peanut, will be a part of her wedding ceremony and she’s even having suits made for them.

Stacey, who is set to marry Joe during a ‘small’ ceremony in July, admitted that she could be persuaded to have a double-barrelled last name. 

Talking to Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2 about her upcoming wedding, the TV personality said: ‘It is a really funny one, obviously Joe would love me to have his second name.  

‘Nothing wrong with his second name but because of kids I want to have the same surname as the kids,’ she added: ‘Maybe I will double-barrel it?’

The interview comes after Stacey revealed that her three sons will give her away with her father at her ‘small’ summer wedding to fiancé Joe. 

The presenter also admitted that if the ‘worst comes to the worst’ amid the pandemic restrictions, she will still marry Joe over the summer even if they only have a ceremony of six.

She told Hello!: ‘It’s going really well and I’m really enjoying it, I’m trying to stay as positive as possible. I know the reality of the situation is that we might not even be allowed to get married this year, let alone have the people that we want there. 

‘But me and Joe have spoken about it. There are people in our lives who we don’t think we will, unfortunately, have much time left with. 

‘So if worst comes to worst, and we can only have a wedding of six, then we will get married with those special people because it’s really important to us to have certain people there.’ 

Lovely: Talking to Hello! magazine about her upcoming nuptials, the former X Factor star sweetly revealed that her three children and Joe’s son, Harry, 13, who he shares with ex Emma Sophocleous, will be page boys (pictured together in 2020)
