Stacey Solomon addresses 'guilt' over 'terrible' dilemma while Joe Swash is away from home

Unfortunately for Stacey, she became too frightened to sleep alone and fled the family home to stay with her sister alongside her dog Theo and baby Rex after “the slightest noise or shadow” gave her “the creeps”.

When quizzed on whether he was worried about his girlfriend, the Dancing on Ice winner divulged exclusively to Express.co.uk: “It’s something that Stacey does every now and again.

“She does get herself worked up and worried when she’s on her own. 

“I wasn’t worried because I knew she’d be fine and she’s got her sister if she needs her around the corner.”

He quipped: “It was nice though, I felt needed, I felt wanted. Like, oh look – can’t live without me!”
