Стейси Соломон готова к риску ради новой работы в «Голосе» и сохранения семьи

Stacey Solomon's 'make or break move' as she prepares for more time away from Joe and kids After being lined up for her biggest presenting role yet, friends say Stacey Solomon is determined not to let the pressure affect her marriage or family life. As one of the new hosts of next year’s series of ITV ’s The Voice UK, Stacey, 36, is facing months of upheaval as she adapts to a demanding schedule that will mean spending far more time away from husband Joe Swash and their children. But a source told us she is so happy about the prestigious gig that she has vowed to make it work. “Stacey could not be happier about The Voice – it’s her dream job and she’s really excited,” said the source. “Music was always her first love and helping people realise their dreams and be part of their journey is what she wants to do. “She’s aware of the impact that filming will have, and that it will mean a lot of time away from home, plus long days and travel. She’ll be balancing it with family life and her other projects.” Stacey will be joining Alesha Dixon as part of the new line-up, after reportedly impressing ITV bosses earlier this year when she was a guest judge on Britain’s Got Talent. After taking a break last year, The Voice UK has returned for 2026. The current series, which started last week, still features host Emma Willis at the helm as the blind audition episodes were pre-recorded, but Emma is hopping channels to front Strictly Come Dancing. Former Destiny’s Child star Kelly Rowland is also in the latest series as a new coach, taking her place alongside Sir Tom Jones, will.i.am and McFly’s Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones. Unsurprisingly, Stacey’s new role, in which she will get the gossip from contestants backstage, has caused her some apprehension. “She’s been nervous,” said the source. “Anyone would be if they were stepping into a primetime show. She’s worried about doing a good job, and also the public warming to her as she’s suffered a lot of backlash. It could be make or break for her.” In what have been difficult times for the couple, Stacey and Joe, 44, came under fire in April when it emerged that the wedding ceremony they held at their Essex home in 2022 was never made legally binding, with some critics accusing the pair of misleading fans. Stacey hit back, saying she explained from the start that Pickle Cottage was not licensed for civil marriages and that they were holding a private blessing there instead. They are still not legally married four years later, but despite the furore, Joe described himself as a “proud husband” during Stacey’s BGT stint. Their relationship has continued to face wider speculation after Stacey was pictured without her wedding ring earlier this year. When quizzed about it on This Morning, she batted it away, joking she “probably took it off to go to the toilet or something”. In their BBC series Stacey & Joe, the pair have admitted to having regular squabbles at home and even had couples’ therapy. But they’ve continued to insist all is well behind closed doors, with Stacey saying, “Who cares if the whole world is like, ‘Oh, they’re on the brink of divorce?’” She’s also insisted there is no such thing as a perfect marriage, saying, “Sometimes it’s really good and sometimes it’s really c**p.” And after more than 10 years together, she has been open about the struggles they have faced. She said, “I think when you’re in a relationship it’s hard work.” She has also stressed that there are times when they are loved-up and others when they drive each other mad. Our source said that while the change to their dynamic brought by Stacey’s new job may yet present further challenges, they will tackle them together. They said, “It was already hard with all the kids and work, and now the extra travel and time apart is going to put pressure on things. They’ll miss each other a lot, but will be in constant contact and ensure they plan date nights. “Like every couple they have ups and downs but they know they’re strong enough to make this work. Nothing comes before family and that is the absolute priority for them both.” The source also said Joe is fully behind Stacey. They said, “This is a chance for her to do what she loves on her own and it’s a new start. “Joe is happy if Stacey is happy. He’s easygoing and loves being with the kids. He knows it won’t be easy for her as she can be sensitive about trolling, but he is a good support. Stacey being happy makes for a happy home, and that’s all he wants.” Like this story?
