Stacey Solomon has spoken out about her plans to buy a house with her boyfriend of nearly three years, Joe Swash, revealing: “I can’t wait!”
The Loose Women panellist opened up in a series of interviews about the process, confirming to OK! magazine: “We’re in a chain – we’re hanging around and waiting, as we both have to sell houses before we move into the new one. We’ll be staying in Essex.”
She also cheekily added that she’s hoping living together will improve their sex life, quipping: “You know what it’s like – we’ve got three kids between us and we both work really long, strange hours, so we rarely get to see each other.
“Hopefully that will change when we live together. I’m really looking forward to having us all under one roof.”
In another interview, with new! magazine, the X Factor finalist said they’re hoping to move “at the end of the month.”
She added: “I can’t wait. You know when something’s just been such a long time coming.”
The I’m A Celeb winner, who turns 29 on Thursday, also spoke to Star magazine about the big step, saying: “I’ve been living my life between his and mine out of a suitcase.”
Opening up about what the former EastEnders actor is like to live with, Stace gushed: “He’s amazing. He doesn’t have a macho persona – he helps with the kids and he cooks.”
But she also insisted it’s too early to think about marriage to Joe, 36, who is dad to Harry, 11, from a previous relationship.
She said: “We’ve only been together for a few years, so we just want to make sure the kids are settled and see where we want to go from there. We’re not opposed to the idea and both of us would love to have more children.”

The move follows a family holiday in LA with Joe and Stacey’s boys, Zachary, ten, and Leighton, six, from her previous relationships.
The reality star posted many sunshine-y pics of them.
Next to a cute shot of all four of them together, Stacey wrote: “THIS IS THE LAST ONE I PROMISE. I just can’t help myself. This is our first holiday together just Joe, the boys and I and I can’t tell you how magical it’s been and I’ve had to take pictures at every given opportunity.
“Today we fly home back to reality and as sad as I am to leave the sunshine I can never be down for too long – about anything with these three by my side. Bye bye Los Angeles hello Mis Angeles “.
