Stacey Solomon just landed Joe Swash in it by revealing he snuck home a piece of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! memorabilia after being crowned king of the jungle.
The Loose Women panelist, 32, made the revelation on her Instagram story, sharing with her 4.9million followers that her fiancé, 39, actually wasn’t allowed to take home his winner’s staff.
Stacey – who is famous for documenting her home renovation projects on Insta – said she wanted to display some of her husband-to-be’s achievements around their home, and has a shelving unit especially for them in the sweetest gesture.
She added that Joe’s mum brought round a bunch of her son’s jungle items, including his hat and the wooden staff given to him when he was announced as champion 14 years ago (no, we can’t believe it’s been that long either).
However, Stacey – who won I’m A Celeb in 2010 – said: ‘We weren’t even allowed to take these home when I won so I don’t know how he got this,’ as she held the priceless possession.
‘He probably wasn’t allowed to take it home either so, apologies in advance, I’m A Celeb,’ she giggled.

The former X Factor finalist proceeded to show off one of the iconic stars that the EastEnder won in one of his many trials.
She added that she wants to dig out her own hat, and her winner’s crown if it’s still about, so she can sit them next to one another as ‘the king and the queen.’
Joe won I’m A Celeb’s eighth series in 2008, with tennis player Martina Navratilova finishing second and actor George Takei – whom Joe struck up quite a bromance with in camp – as third.
Meanwhile, Stacey was beat Happy Mondays singer Shaun Ryder to be crowned queen of the jungle two years later.

However, it was the hit ITV show that actually brought the lovebirds together, since they met when Joe hosted the ITV2 spin-off show, I’m a Celebrity: Extra Camp.
Elsewhere, TV star Stacey recently opened up about her fears of heading back to work three months after giving birth.
Stacey – who welcomed baby Rose in October – admitted that, despite loving her job ‘so so much,’ she’s ‘sad’ that her maternity leave is almost over.
Keeping it real with her followers, she revealed she is ‘getting so nervous to go back.’

Reflecting on living in a baby bubble for three blissful months, she said: ‘I’m so grateful to have had these beautiful months but why oh why does it go so quick. It’s been the most magical three months Rose.
‘I can still smell your newborn smell and I’m so grateful to still be boobing with you.’
As well as baby Rose, she and fiancé Joe Swash also share son Rex, two, and Stacey also has sons Zachary, 13, and Leighton, nine, from previous relationships.

Joe also has an older son, 14-year-old Harry, from a past relationship too.
Stacey and Joe are engaged but decided to postpone their wedding so their youngest child could be present for their big day.
