Joe Swash fumes as Stacey Solomon decides to change her name – but not for him

Stacey Solomon has cheekily wound up her husband Joe Swash after suggest she would change her name – but not for him.

Solomon, 34, has been going from strength to strength in her career as a presenter. After initially finding fame on The X Factor back in 2009, Stacey branched out into a litany of other roles.

Solomon has had several appearances on other shows – the most prominent of which being her time as a panellist on ITV chat show Loose Women. However, away from working with others, Stacey’s solo work as a presenter has seen her be recognised for her hard work.

At the Royal Television Society’s annual award show, the former pop star cleaned up as her BBC show Sort Your Life Out won the award for Best Formatted Popular Factual. A stunned Stacey could not believe the announcement as she beamed to her Instagram followers: “Our first EVER award for Sort Your Life Out – and my first ever award for my own TV show!”

She jokingly quipped later in the post: “And it’s a Royal Television Society Award!! What?! It’s only taken me 15 years!”

After her win, Stacey was still blown away by the result and was thrilled to see her work be recognised for its worth. And it was clear that she was having fun with the fact she was now an award-winning presenter, although she tried to let not get to her head.

In a cheeky clip she posted to her Instagram story, Stacey admitted that although she should be getting back to work after her victory, instead she is enjoying winding up her husband, Joe Swash. In the clip, she gives the former EastEnders star a ring and begins to play around with him, gradually winding him up.

After initially not picking up the phone, Swash answered, with Stacey slamming him: “I thought you weren’t going to answer the phone then!” When Joe explained that he was calling someone else, she hit back: “Well you always answer the phone to an award winner before anyone else,” as an exasperated Joe sighed “Oh God” as he knew what he was in for.

She kept up the hijinks, adding: “Do you know what I was thinking? Maybe I should change my surname.” When Joe asked what she would switch the name to, she quipped: “Stacey Award-Winner-Solomon.”

Swash, however, was quick to blast his wife with the idea as he admitted that she did not change her surname to Swash when the pair got hitched in 2022. “That’s mad innit,” he said, “So easy to change your name for an award, but you wouldn’t change it for me!”

Sensing that she was striking a nerve, Stacey continued to wind up her beau, joking that she now needs to “hang around with better people”. She added that due to her newfound recognition, she now needs “a husband that can handle an award-winning wife”.

This, however, proved to be the straw that broke the camel’s back for Joe, who flew into a rage at Stacey: “I don’t think anyone’s gonna be able to hand an award-winning wife”, which sent Solomon into a fit of laughter. She finished off the phone call by demanding Joe bring her a cup of tea, which again frustrated her husband.

“Yes I- you literally told me two minutes ago to make you a cup of tea!” Joe fumed as Stacey fought back giggles. Stacey then decided to end the call, beaming: “Love you, lots of love from your award-winning wife!”

Swash, clearly bored of the conversation could be heard lamenting: “Yes, so proud of you, bye,” as Stacey laughed into the camera. The pair have been known to wind each other up as loyal fans joined in on the celebrations for her accolade.

Dannii Minogue took to the comments section to wish Stacey the best: “Congratulations gorgeous lady, this is awesome!” Similarly, EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy told her BBC co-star: “Love this so much!”
