Stacey Solomon has admitted she still fears her career will come crashing down and she will be left with nothing. The TV star is now earning a reported £57,000 a month and according to reports in April had £9.7m in her business accounts thanks to TV series and brand endorsements and business investments.

But speaking on her BBC series, she admitted she still doubts herself sometimes. In the second episode Stacey and husband Joe Swash go on a family skiing trip and she says: “I think I will always, one, feel like an imposter in this life, because this is not what I imagined my life would be when I was growing up. But two, I always have in the back of my mind tomorrow you could have nothing, so be careful today.”

Despite her concerns Stacey and husband Joe Swash continue to do well and are loved by TV viewers thanks in part to their family reality show on BBC1 and their down to earth nature.

A second series of BBC’s Stacey & Joe begins tonight(TUESDAY). Stacey and Joe married in 2022 and have been together nine years. They have filmed more of their home life for the BBC.

After rising to fame on the X Factor in 2009, Loose Women star Stacey has become a national treasure and is best known for her bubbly personality and as the Instagram DIY queen.

She keeps her social media followers in the loop as she has transformed Pickle Cottage into a family home.

As well as her dream home which features in the series, Stacey has the dream family life too with former EastEnders actor fiancé Joe Swash, and her five children; Zachary, 17, Leighton, 13, Rex, six, Rose, three, and Belle, two.

In the opening episode, she told how she thought she has “had her last baby”.

The cameras showed their youngest Belle going to nursery. And Stacey admits she gets “sad” as the kids grow up.

“Another one flies the nest. All the kids are at school, and we can have a lot of fun,” says Joe before asking: “D’you think that’s our last baby?”

Stacey replied: “I think that’s our last baby, bubs.”

Joe said: “I think what we need to do is start looking forward to the future bits of the kids growing up instead of it being like ‘awww’.”

Stacey replied: “Yeah, that’s why I’m getting more animals, to be honest with you!”
