Stacey & Joe premise
Filmed during the summer and autumn of 2024, the series shows the couple as they celebrate their second wedding anniversary, revealing how they met and fell in love.
Cameras follow 16-year-old Zach as he waits nervously for his GCSE results and we see Stacey winning big at the National Television Awards. Meanwhile, can a much-needed summer holiday in Turkey bring some harmony to the couple as they face their busiest year ever?
With Joe spending more time at home over the last 18 months, Stacey is adamant she wants to spend more time with the children - and the series ends with the family all together as they prepare for a festive Pickle Cottage Christmas.
