JOE Swash has revealed a huge change to his usual Christmas Day plans with wife Stacey Solomon and their kids.
Last year Joe, 44, and Stacey, 35, hosted almost 30 of their nearest and dearest at their £1.2million Pickle Cottage.
But the former EastEnders star has confessed they’re downsizing their plasnt his year.
Speaking to Metro, Joe said: “Last year, we had about 28 people at our house for Christmas dinner.
“This year is a bit more quiet: just me, Stacey, the kids and three or four other people coming.”
But one thing that hasn’t changed is Joe will be in charge of cooking the Christmas dinner.
He continued: “Stace would love to get involved but I really enjoy cooking at Christmas so I’m more than happy. I probably do the best roast potatoes in Essex.
“Stacey is a fantastic cook. She’s a better cook than I am but I enjoy it a little bit more.”
It comes after Joe and Stacey sparked concern among fans when they were spotted having what looked like an argument in the street.
The pair had a camera crew with them and mum-of-five Stacey, who married Joe two years ago, was inconsolable while she was seen hugging a member of production.
The onlooker told The Sun: “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 onlooker added: “About 15 minutes later Joe was having an animated talk with the man.
“Eventually Stacey walked towards Joe in the car and shouted something.
“They ended up leaving separately. It all looked very tense.”
