Stacey Solomon Details Rows, Separate Beds and Bias in TV in Candid Interview

Her remarks in Good Housekeeping UK spotlight how she navigates class stereotypes, unequal pay, a family reality show, plus a lucrative business career.

Overview

  • Solomon says there are periods after months of arguments when she "can't even look" at husband Joe Swash, calling rows a normal, healthy part of their marriage.
  • She confirms they sometimes sleep separately due to differing schedules, saying she goes to bed around 9pm while he is often up until 1am.
  • The presenter says her accent, background and appearance lead some to label her "stupid," a perception she now leverages to exceed expectations.
  • She describes being a woman in television as a struggle and notes that women can reach the top yet still be paid less than men.
  • Coverage sets her candour against ongoing success, including BBC series Stacey & Joe at Pickle Cottage and reports earlier this year of about £9.7m in her business accounts.
