Stacey & Joe - BBC 1

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

On in about 15 mins, anyone planning to watch?

How old is Leighton? They met when she won iacgmooh 2010?

I like Stacey but I didn’t find it very interesting, too much drama and chaos for me.

Zac and Leighton have different dads to the other 3 kids who are all Joe's.

I think Stacey said she was pregnant with Zac at 17. Leighton probably a couple of years after.

Oh and she is 35 years old now.

So Leighton is probably around 16?

My mistake, according to Google Zac is 17 and Leighton 13.

They spoke about him getting his gcse results when they got back from holiday.

That was Zac. He is the eldest.

I wasn't going to watch but I did and do not know how she puts up with Joe. I follow her on Instagram and I know she posts a lot of her life on there, though not so much recently, but this did seem to show a bit more.

They seem like nice enough people but how they have become so successful from presenting sub par TV shows I have no idea. I think Stacey has created a good brand from her idyllic insta page. Lovely crafts, visuals, home decor etc and people aspire to be like her. But their shows are shit!
I do find them a bit much now. I remember when they dragged out the name reveal for Rose for ages…‘I promise we’ll tell you soon but we just want to keep it for family at the moment’ and then it turned out to just be…Rose a nice a but perfectly average name. Things like that put me off. They’ve got a bit too full of themselves I think.

me.

He's Zach. I know because I read Tap to Tidy.

I'd rather shit in my hands and clap, stick pins in my eyes, and swallow ground glass than watch this.

For some unknown reason I watched it. Very tedious & yes, he is like another child. I won't be watching again.
Awful for primetime BBC.

Just me that enjoyed it then 😅 I really like Stacey and wish I was as productive with my time as her. It was very disrespectful how late Joe was when she was working, no wonder she has to run a tight ship.

Same here. He gives it all this bright and breezy stuff but I thought he was pretty nasty on Celebrity Masterchef.

I didn't mean to watch it, but ended up watching all the way through 😂 From liking Joe more than Stacey beforehand, I'm definitely Team Stacey afterwards. She juggles so many balls and he's just an overgrown manchild

I bet you wouldn’t though, when presented with the two alternatives of (a) watching an hour of TV and (b) what you describe 🙄

I really enjoyed it! I love Stacey - I think she’s smart, hardworking, organised, a good mum - no idea what she sees in Joe but thought it was sweet that he at least seems to realise he’s done well for himself.

I had to keep checking this was the BBC?? Prime time too. What were they thinking?
Watched up to the point she started talking about her perfume brand and that was enough.

I tuned in to see her home to be honest. Same as I did with the Katie Price house, back when it was gorgeous 😬

Joe comes across really badly. His cheeky chappy persona just covers up that he is leaving all the heavy lifting to Stacey. They need regular childcare beyond Stacey's dad unless Joe is going to step up and do his share. It's not funny to be the dad who is unreliable and won't enforce good parenting.

Stacey has done well for herself - she’s a good singer but that’s not how she’s built up a career. Not really sure what Joe does or brings to the party.

I like them and I will probably watch it with dd later if we can’t be arsed to watch anything serious. Some of the replies on this thread are so needlessly nasty. At least it goes to show that such responses aren’t just reserved for bloody Meghan Sussex I suppose. People are nasty about everyone who has a bit of success it seems.

I watched the Ruby Franke documentary recently and the daughter’s campaign against family vlogging. This just seems a bigger version of that.

The children can’t consent or disagree which feels exploitative and the damage that can be caused is huge.

All for mild, light entertainment. So not for me.

Nope!
there’s something a lot more interesting to do, like watching paint dry!

Tantrums don't stop just because you're on holiday...
