Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash clashed on Tuesday night’s episode of their BBC reality show, Stacey & Joe, after Joe vanished without explanation.
The 35-year-old presenter grew increasingly frustrated when her husband vanished for nearly two hours from their Essex home, Pickle Cottage.
Although frustrated about his absence Stacey didn’t know that Joe, 43, had secretly left to get a tattoo of her initials on his finger.
When he eventually returned, Stacey demanded: “Oh hi, where have you been?” to which Joe replied: “I have just had the surprise all sorted that's all. I don't question where you have been do I?”
As Stacey pressed him, “Where the hell were you? Why can't you tell me? What sort of surprise ends in not telling the person?”
The actor fired back: “What sort of surprise starts with telling the person the surprise? I have been out and sorted the surprise, I'm really happy with myself, can't wait for you to see it. Don't need to go any further.”
Stacey then quipped: “I lost my husband for half the day at an imperative time.”
After her remark, Joe said: “You lost me for one hour and 45 minutes, that's not half a day.”
Still curious, Stacey asked: “Where have you been is all I am asking. How long are you going to drag this surprise out for? And how many sporadic leaving the house visits are you going to need for this surprise?”
Staying tight-lipped, he announced: “I have done something for you and that's all you need to know.”
Stacey and Joe have opened the doors of their home Pickle Cottage for another installment of their reality series.
The show follows the couple as they juggle their careers with raising their three young children Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, two, alongside Stacey’s older sons Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 12, from previous relationships.
Their spat on the show comes after Stacey recently revealed concerns she may be experiencing early menopause.
Speaking in the first episode of the new season, the TV presenter admitted she has been feeling unusually irritable and exhausted despite getting eight hours of sleep, prompting fears she is entering perimenopause.
Globally, the average age for menopause falls between 44 and 53, with symptoms ranging from irregular periods to hot flashes, irritability, anxiety and low mood.
According to the NHS, 1 in 100 women can experience menopause before the age of 40, which is known as premature menopause or premature ovarian insufficiency.
Premature or early menopause can occur at any age, and in many cases, there's no clear cause.
