Filming for the reality show hasn’t been wholly smooth sailing, with Stacey reportedly left in tears after having what looked like a row with Joe in the street back in November.
In a video obtained by The Sun, the mother-of-five was seen being comforted by her reality TV crew as she attempted to hide her appearance.
Recognising the famous couple, who tied the knot two years ago and share three children, an onlooker claimed they saw Joe, 42, storming down the road outside Westcliff on Sea train station in Essex while furiously puffing on a vape after the argument.
They revealed: ‘Joe came out of a building on his own and stormed off down the street, he looked upset and was sitting on some steps for a while.
‘Stacey came out of the building in tears and she looked really emotional, she was hugging someone.’
The video showed Stacey embraced in a tight hug before another member of production went to check on Joe.
In May, Stacey revealed her dream was to quit TV work entirely to spend time with her five children and explained that she only wanted to take on work that she could do from home.
But she gave fans some hope by hinting that she could always be tempted back to TV screens to work on a passion project.
Discussing her work on the Glad We Had This Chat podcast, Stacey explained she wanted to spend more time with of her children and has had to reconsider her work commitments.
‘Each year I have a team meeting with my agent and everyone on the team to say, “What’s your plan, what’s your goals, blah, blah, blah”,’ she explained.
‘And this year when they asked me my five-year goals, I was like “I want to be a stay-at-home mum”.
Stacey and Joe will show the ‘highs and lowers of family life with a large brood – after revealing they had adopted ducks while building her Pickle Cottage.
Amid their renovation, Stacey revealed the addition of two ducklings to her family on Instagram in June, as she shared a video of two of her children Rex, five, and Rose, two, cuddling them while she asked fans for name ideas.
She wrote: ‘Welcome To Pickle Cottage Little Ones. We are so excited to love you & we hope you love living here & being a part of our crazy family. We have no idea what to call our new babies yet, so any suggestions welcome.
‘Honestly wanted to make our garden home to ducklings for so long so thank you @luisazissman from giving us the opportunity to raise your hatchlings.’
