Joe Swash reveals plans for SIXTH baby with Stacey Solomon after she insisted she wouldn’t get pregnant again
JOE Swash has revealed his and wife Stacey Solomon's plans for a SIXTH child.
After Loose Women star Stacey insisted she wouldn't get pregnant again, Joe revealed they are looking to foster a child in the future.
Speaking on The Netmums Podcast, the presenter, 41, told how they are "renewing" their interest in taking a child in need into their home.
Joe revealed: "Fostering is something that me and Stacey have talked about and would love to do. We'd love to foster, we'd love to give something back, you know?’
"It is something that we definitely want to do, when our kids get old enough that they're not as reliant on us.
"Touch wood, we’re both healthy enough and fit enough. We'll have to wait until the time comes, but we're open to the option."

The idea is something Joe is passionate about as his mum has been a foster carer for 15 years.
He explained: "My mum sort of knew she had so much more to give and so much more love to give. And there are so many kids out there that really need that love and support.
"So, we were really behind my mum. We are super proud of what she's done and what she's achieved. She’s an incredible, strong independent woman. We’re super proud of her."
Joe and Stacey, 33, have three children - Harry, Leighton and Zachary - from previous relationships and three children - Rex, Rose and Belle - together.

Speaking of not having any more biological children, Joe said: "Before you know it you’ve got six! This is it, I’m pretty sure that this is it.
"We can’t go there again which is really sad, we love kids, we love the baby stage, and the toddler stage, and the baby stag goes by really fast, so it is a little bit sad but I think this will be it.";
And he shed a light on how their blended family works.
"As long as the house is full of love and we all love each other exactly the same. I never make a distinction between my kids and Stacey’s kids. Even that makes me feel funny. They’re all our kids. We’re just one big family and we all love each other, that’s the most important thing."
Yesterday, Stacey revealed that she is "taking every precaution possible" to not get pregnant again.
Telling her followers that she and Joe had enjoyed a mini break to Austria together last weekend, she said fans had been speculating their romantic trip could lead to another surprise arrival.
Stacey laughed: "Oh, for those of you messaging me saying is this baby number six - no, no no! Don't worry, we're taking every precaution possible to make sure that doesn't happen!"
