Ever since they started dating in 2016, celebrity couple Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon haven't been shy with their relatable relationship troubles and soppy posts on social media. Now that their son Rex has arrived into the world, the loved-up pair often share adorable photos of him, delighting fans in the process.

Joe has once again melted the hearts of his online followers, sharing a cute photo of Stacey and his five-month-old son, writing the adorable caption, 'Coming home to these two makes my whole day.' sic

Fans were quick to comment, with many calling them 'family goals'. One user wrote, 'Rex is the happiest wee boy, you are both doing a fab job 😍🙌'.

Another added, 'Gosh how much is he like you and Stacy! If you cut your face in half and added to half of stacey's face you have Rex! Absolutely adorable 😍'. A third then added, 'Yous are literally goals'. sic

A user with the name elainef57 then added, 'He’s so adorable. A smiling happy wee baba like his mummy and daddy. He’s a credit to you both ❤️'. sic

Following the birth of his son in May this year, Joe made the decision to quit his presenting job on I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp, along with former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt.

Announcing the news to his fans, Joe revealed he'd quit the show so he could spend more quality time with his family. He wrote on Instagram, 'I can’t believe I’m about to say this... For 10 incredible years I’ve been lucky enough to host my favourite show on telly. Being a part of the I’m a Celebrity After Show has been everything I could have dreamed of and more.

'But I’ve come to the decision that this year I’m going to have to leave my jungle family and stay home with my wonderful real family. I don’t want to miss a second with Stacey and our amazing boys so 3 months in Australia just seems too make to bare this year. I’m so grateful for everything the jungle has given me and for all of the people who have took me under their wing'. sic

After Emily Atack and Adam Thomas were announced as their replacements, Joe then revealed he'd signed up to appear on the 2020 series of ITV show Dancing On Ice. The former EastEnders actor joins the star-studded line-up, which features the likes of Love Island star Maura Higgins, Michael Barrymore, and H from Steps.

Dancing On Ice 2020: Meet the cast


Perri Kiely

Diversity dancer Perri Kiely reunited with his dance-mate Ashely Banjo for Dancing On Ice 2020! He said, "I'm not going to lie, I'm a little bit nervous. I've had a couple of training sessions so far and I'm not going to lie, it's hard. I can stand up on ice and skate about a bit, but technique, it's difficult!"


Of normally being the one to get thrown into the air, Perri said, "Role reversal! I'm pretty sure my job title was to get thrown about. I would love to back flip on ice, imagine how sick that would be! But I said I was going to get on the ice and spin and flip and do this, but I turned up to that first training session and I just wanted to put one foot in front of the other and make sure I don't fall over."
