Stacey & Joe | Series 2 Preview (BBC One)

Following the success of series one, cameras have returned to Pickle Cottage to follow the lives of Stacey Solomon, Joe Swash and their family as they document the highs and lows of life juggling work, play, parenting and their ever-growing menagerie of pets.

Picking right back up where cameras left off, this series will see some very special and monumental firsts for the family – Belle’s first day of nursery, a permanent Valentine’s gift that leave’s Stacey in a fit of giggles, all of the little ones learn to ski and preparations for some new arrivals. And Zach’s 17th Birthday brings out Stacey and Joe’s competitive side.

Audiences will get to see what really goes into making it work when you’re bringing up a blended family of teenagers and toddlers, as Stacey and Joe continue to navigate and manage their busy schedules and work lives, including passion projects and navigating changing family dynamics.

Packed full of everyday life, viewers get a front row seat as the couple set out to build a better future for their children, as well as the four ducks, four ducklings and two dogs who all live at Pickle Cottage.

Joe gets to break ground on his lake – but can he operate the digger and fill it up with rainwater? Stacey explores her own health journey and opens up about it to her sister.

Grandad Dave is on hand for driving lesson duties as Zach gets behind the wheel and takes on babysitting, allowing Stacey and Joe to sneak off for a night away. With more time for themselves, Joe is upping his romance game, as Stacey puts it, “Romance is different at different stages of your life, isn’t it? So, at this stage in life romance is unloading the dishwasher!”

Stacey and Joe comment, “We've been so grateful for all the lovely messages and people watching series one. Everyone’s support means the world to us and we can’t wait to take everyone on this crazy journey we call life! We hope people will laugh along with us again in this new series.”

Clare Sillery, Head of Commissioning, BBC Documentaries, says: "It’s so good to be working with Stacey and Joe and their family again. Audiences loved the first series, episode one reached an audience of 4.2 million on BBC One, that’s a lot of eyes on Pickle Cottage. It’s been great to see how viewers have taken Stacey, Joe, their kids and beloved pets to their hearts and series two will continue to reflect their bustling lives at Pickle Cottage."

Stacey & Joe return to BBC One and iPlayer on Tuesday 9 September at 8pm.
