Stacey and Joe will show the ‘highs and lowers of family life with a large brood – after revealing they had adopted ducks while building her Pickle Cottage.
An insider told The Sun on Sunday: ‘Stacey and Joe are such homebodies and love nothing more than spending time with their children.
‘The series is set to be a huge hit, given the chaos that comes with a big family.

‘Stacey and Joe will also not hold back when it comes to showing the highs and lows of family life. Fans can expect to see an unfiltered version of a busy household.’
Amid their renovation, Stacey revealed the addition of two ducklings to her family on Instagram in June, as she shared a video of two of her children Rex, five, and Rose, two, cuddling them while she asked fans for name ideas.
She wrote: ‘Welcome To Pickle Cottage Little Ones. We are so excited to love you & we hope you love living here & being a part of our crazy family. We have no idea what to call our new babies yet, so any suggestions welcome.
‘Honestly wanted to make our garden home to ducklings for so long so thank you @luisazissman from giving us the opportunity to raise your hatchlings.’
Days later, Stacey issued an update on her duckling journey, as she shared a video of her and Rex building a play pen for them.
‘Duckling DIY,’ she said. ‘I think they LOVE their new play pen. Honestly the way they zoomed around as soon as I put them in.
‘I Decided to make a duck run today (with the help of Rexy)! They have been growing rapidly so before I finish their outdoor area & they’re allowed outside I thought I’d make them a run.’
Recently, the candid couple revealed they no longer share a bed.
The couple have son Rex and daughters Rose and 16-month-old Belle together, while Stacey has Leighton, 12, and Zachary, 16, and Joe has Harry, 16, from previous relationships

And the pair admitted having ‘three kids in four years’ has changed their sleeping arrangements.
Speaking on ‘Celebrity Gogglebox’, after watching a clip from ‘The Nevermets’, Joe said: ‘We used to have pillow talk, didn’t we?’
Stacey replied: ‘We used to sleep in bed together, do you remember that? Before we had three kids in four years!’
Joe then mimicked Stacey as he said: ”I’ll go in Rex’s bed with the baby, all right?” and Stacey answered: ‘It’s what happens, innit babe?’
Meanwhile, Stacey recently admitted she might one day decide to become a stay-at-home mum.
Speaking on the ‘Glad We Had This Chat’ podcast, she told host Caroline Hirons: ‘I’m a phenomenal mum. I’m done with mum guilt.
‘If you’re the mum who loves to be out at work, and I’m the mum who’s like, oh, I love playing at home.
‘They’re both good mums. I don’t understand why one is better than the other in my opinion.’

She added: ‘Whatever phase of life I’m at, I might be this mum right now. But in two years’ time, if, let’s say, I’ve decided to stay at home and never work again, I might be like, “I want to go back to work”.
‘Does that make me a bad mum? No, no, it makes me a human that my children can see that I am still a human being. Not just mum.
‘I’m not a mythical creature with no feelings and no ambitions.’
The Loose Women panellist was then asked if she has ever thought about having more children and failed to give a definitive answer but explained that Belle was a complete surprise anyway.
She said: ‘Oh, no. I have. I have and I haven’t [thought about more kids.] But even we were shocked at Belle because we weren’t planning to have another baby. We were definitely planning a break.
‘Rex and Rose were only a couple of years apart and Rose was like six months old. But yeah, well, apparently you only need to have sex once and you’ll get pregnant.’
