STACEY Solomon has revealed she's had "massive" rows with boyfriend Joe Swash over whether ISIS bride Shamima Begum should be allowed to return to the UK.

Begum has been immediately stripped of her British citizenship, having shown no remorse for her terror links since being tracked down to a Syrian refugee camp last week.
She fled from her family home in Bethnal Green in 2015 to join Islamic State and has sparked outrage by claiming the Manchester Arena terror attack was 'justified' in a recent interview.
Stacey admitted she was split about the decision, and didn't understand why Begum was being treated differently.
She said: "I don't really understand why there's such a circus around this one case and why we're not applying the same law, which has always been there, to this person and they're being treated differently.
"Joe and I at home have ended up having massive conflicts over this case.

"He would say, 'well hold on a second, if this person does come back is our legal system equipped to give that person the necessary time… in prison, is it even equipped to even charge this woman? Is it equipped to even monitor this woman?
"It hasn't done before, he would say it has failed us before."
Begum who fled the UK to join ISIS in 2015, had asked the Home Secretary to allow her to return to raise her baby.
Footage published by showed her reading a copy of the Home Office "citizenship" letter her parents received.
HUGE ROWS
It stated: "In light of the circumstances of your daughter, the notice of the Home Secretary's decision has been served of file today (19th February), and the order removing her British citizenship has subsequently been made."
Begum responded by saying she would like Home Secretary Sajid Javid to "review my case again and have a bit more sympathy for me and understanding, and you know, maybe give me a reason why they see me as a threat to the UK".
She added: "I'm a bit shocked... It's a bit unjust on me and my son."

The 19-year-old, who gave birth to her baby boy on Sunday, said she had not been informed of the decision prior to seeing the letter.
Her comments come despite openly admitting she doesn't regret joining ISIS, that the Manchester Arena bomb attack was "justified" and that she hopes to be reunited with her jihadi husband.
It's not yet known how the ban will affect her newborn son Jerah - who is half British and half Dutch.
