Stacey Solomon offered a comforting shoulder to her husband Joe Swash as he became emotional in the latest episode of their BBC series, Stacey and Joe.
During Tuesday’s instalment of the reality series, which follows the two famous faces as they juggle family life and their careers, former EastEnders star Swash became tearful as he opened up to his wife about his ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) diagnosis.
The candid on-camera moment came as Swash, 43, confided in Solomon, 35, following an appointment he’d had about his ADHD.
During the episode, which aired on April 15, Solomon was busy sorting Halloween crafts for the party she was hosting, while Swash went to check out the price he’d be looking at to create a fishing lake, a dream garden feature of his.

He was quickly brought back down to earth when he realised the eye-watering cost of the venture, and he soon reflected on his ADHD.
The soap star explained: “Being a kid, I don’t think ADHD back then was even recognised, so I had ADHD and a touch of dyslexia, so I really got tarred with the brush of being a naughty kid.
“I feel like I sort of invented this character to sort of protect myself a little bit, just making people laugh.”
The instalment began to follow the actor as he sought psychiatric advice about managing ADHD with a hectic schedule.
