Now, Joe will front a one-off, hour-long documentary set to air on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer, according to The Sun.
Titled Joe Swash: Britain’s Young Dads, the documentary will shine a light on young fathers in the UK.
He told the publication: ‘It’s been eye-opening to meet the young men behind the statistics.

‘The ones working hard to create a good future for their kids.
‘I feel lucky that we’ve been able to help tell their stories and hopefully we can get people thinking a bit differently about young dads.’
As Joe listens to their experiences, he reflects on his own journey into fatherhood.
He sparks conversations about masculinity, the importance of positive male role models, and why young dads deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
Becoming a father in his mid-twenties changed his life, shaping his perspective and purpose.
Now, he travels across the country to meet other young dads navigating the highs and lows of parenthood.
It comes after Stacey suffered another awards show blow as she missed out on three National Television Awards.
She had been nominated for three prestigious gongs at this year’s NTAs.

But just months after she complained she was ‘robbed’ of a BAFTA, Stacey was dealt another awards show blow as her hit factual series Sort Your Life Out missed out on an NTA once again at the ceremony earlier this month.
The much-loved reality show sees Stacey and her team transform cluttered homes across the UK, helping families decide what to keep and what to leave behind.
To make matters worse, Sort Your Life Out was pitted against her other show, Stacey & Joe, in the Entertainment category – leaving Stacey with a lose-lose situation on her hands.
In the end, it was Clarkson’s Farm that triumphed whilst she also lost out on the TV Presenter gong, watching Gary Lineker take the win.
The awards ceremony blow after Stacey complained that it was ‘absolutely ludicrous’ that both of her TV shows were nominated in the same category at the National Television Awards.
The presenter, who ranted she was ‘robbed’ of a BAFTA earlier this year, had both of her TV shows in the Entertainment category.
Speaking on Magic Radio, just hours ahead of the ceremony at The O2 in London, Stacey called in to share her thoughts.
She told presenters Tom Price and Lucy Horobin: ‘They’ve put Sort Your Life Out and Stacey & Joe in the same blummin’ category for some reason – we’re up against each other, which is absolutely ludicrous!
‘But you know what, I’m so grateful to just be going, it’s so nice to be shortlisted and nominated, knowing that it’s a public vote.
‘All our family are going to be there, it’s the first time our family has got to go to anything like this, so it’s going to be amazing no matter what happens!’
