Joe Swash has expressed his desire to start a family with girlfriend Stacey Solomon, shortly after she begged him to propose in a light-hearted video.
The couple both have children from former relationships, but Joe, 36, admits he’s keen to settle down and have more with Loose Women panellist Stacey, 28, who he started dating in 2015.
‘I see it and it’s lovely and we want to have a family ourselves,’ he told The Sun during their appearance at the Nailing Mental Health Valentine’s Ball on Wednesday evening.

Attending the Valentine’s Day event together on Wednesday evening, she took to Instagram after discovering he’d been given a bag of love heart sweets stamped with romantic messages.
Addressing followers, she announced: ‘Joe’s got a bag of love hearts and he said, “Let’s see what the first one is, I’ll give it to you!”
She later revealed the sweet bore the message ‘say yes,’ only for Joe to insist the love heart offering was merely a bit harmless fun, rather than a genuine marriage proposal.

In a separate clip Stacey can be seen pretending a bag of goodies from the event is crystal ball as she urges Joe to propose.
‘You’ve got the best thing going on right there Joseph Swash. Never, never, never let her go or bad things will happen!’ she says, mimicking a fortune teller, adding: ‘Propose, propose, propose, I can hear the word propose!’
Responding to the presenter, Joe quipped: ‘You’re such a d**k ain’t ya.’
