STACEY Solomon has revealed she doesn't want to die before Joe Swash and she "wouldn't give her permission" for him to meet someone else if she did.
The Loose Women panelist, 31, and Dancing On Ice winner Joe, 39, are engaged to be married and share son Rex, one.
Stacey opened up during a segment on Loose Women today which asked the panelists "is it OK to admit you want a younger love?"
On the flip side, the mum-of-three admitted she is attracted to older men because she finds them more mature – but also admitted she fears being the one in a relationship to die first and would worry about who would end up looking after her kids.
The ITV star, who also has sons Leighton, eight, and Zachary, 13, from past relationships, said: "I've always found growing up that boys grow up a bit slower, Joe is nine years older than me and we're just about the right (fit).
"Also, I had kids younger and I don't want to be the first partner to die, I feel weird saying that."
But Linda Robson said she understood Stacey's perspective and would hate it if she died before her husband Mike.
She said: "If something happened to me and I died first I would come back and haunt Mike, I would make his life a misery!"
Stacey teased: "I feel the same, people who say 'I want you to meet someone else and give you full permission' I wouldn't give my permission!
"I don't want some other woman raising my kids!"
Stacey and Joe have just moved into a period property in Essex which they snapped up for £1.2million.
The TV favourite treated her Instagram followers to a glimpse at their massive garden - complete with Wendy house, swimming pool, and a greenhouse.
Stacey revealed she and Joe completed on the purchase of their forever home in Essex last week — which they have named Pickle Cottage after the moniker she gives her children Zachary, Leighton and Rex.
