Joe Swash finally reunites with Stacey Solomon and baby Rex in the Maldives after gruelling DOI rehearsals
JOE Swash has finally reunited with Stacey Solomon, baby Rex and the rest of the family for their holiday in the Maldives.
The presenter underwent gruelling Dancing On Ice training ahead of his appearance on the ITV show early next year.
Stacey, 30, flew out with her boys - Zachary, 11, Leighton, 7, and baby Rex - as well as her mum and sister.
But the dad-of-two, 37, finally got the chance to fly out to unite with his family, in a journey that took two commercial flights, a sea plane and a golf buggy.
Joe was ecstatic when he finally reached everyone, holding his son Rex and talking to him in a baby voice, "He's finally got his daddy back," before giving him a big kiss.
Stacey later showed the wiped out Joe asleep in bed alongside one of her sons, as she did an online shop on her phone.
Stacey clarified why Joe wasn't with the rest of the gang in an Instagram post earlier this week, saying: "Loads of you are asking where Joe is, he's coming to meet us in a couple of days.
"He had some Dancing On Ice stuff to do so he couldn't come out with us, but he'll be here soon and we can't blooming wait."
The star has been keeping busy in his absence, taking the boys on a glass-bottomed boat and enjoying Halloween with them.
She even dressed Rex up in an adorable pumpkin costume and let the two eldest play trick or treat on people's hotel rooms.
They also went diving to swim with manta rays while her mum looked after the baby.
In fact, mum Fiona made an appearance in the background of her Story doing a funny dance while Stacey spoke to the camera.
