Joe Swash lightheartedly hit out at Vernon Key after the latter made a cheeky comment to Stacey Solomon during an appearance on Loose Women spin-off Loose Men on Friday
Vernon Kay made a cheeky jibe about Joe Swash, directed at Stacey Solomon, during an appearance on Loose Men.
The Loose Women spin-off returned on Friday as Vernon joined Joe, Anton Du Beke and Jordan Banjo. During the opening of the show, host Vernon warned Stacey to turn off the channel as Joe discussed his time on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!.
As he discussed the infamous eating challenges Joe said he “would have paid money” to join Dean Gaffney for a drinking trial, as he found him so funny. “I’ve had some bad stuff in my mouth…,” Joe joked. Vernon quipped: "Very funny," as Joe hit back at the laughing audience: "Stop it! What's going on here?"
Vernon then warned: "Stacey. Turn over," as Joe exclaimed: “Don’t talk to my wife like that.” Meanwhile, Joe revealed Stacey has "one bad habit" involving her eyelashes.
He said: "Stacey's got one bad habit, which I don't think is that bad, I find it quite funny – she likes to stick her eyelashes everywhere. You could be making a cup of tea, look at the wall and think, 'Oh there's a spider there!' No, it's Stacey's eyelash. The worst one is I'll come into work...and people will be picking eyelashes off my shoulder. That's Stacey's only flaw but apart from that she's perfect."
Later in the show, the panel discussed whether men struggle to ask their employers for time off for children related issues. Joe and Stacey share three children together – 15-month-old Belle, Rose, two, and Rex, four. Joe is also father to son Harry, 16, from a previous relationship and is stepfather to Stacey's sons from former relationships, Leighton, 12, and Zachary, 16.
Joe said: "Stacey and I are really lucky with the job that we get to do, I can choose my hours and pick and choose when I want to work. When we had our children I've always stayed at home as long as I possibly can because Stacy's been through nine months of growing a baby, having a baby so it's her job to look after the baby and it's my job to look after Stacy. And it's also my job to look after the other five kids downstairs so they don't feel left out."
He continued: "I do think it's very important that as a man not only do you do your fair share with your kids, but somewhere along the line, there's got to be the same rights because mum or dad, you'r both parents, you both love your kids, and you both want to look after them. And so I think sometimes men find it a bit harder when it comes to get paternity and I can understand how some men do feel the burden of, 'Is it is it my place to ask for time off?' For me, I love spending time with kids and the time that we've had children, for me and Stacy it's been so special because we've just been together as a family."
