In terms of her relationship with TV presenter Joe, who she fell in love with back in 2015, Stacey said that they aren’t averse to a good old row in order to clear the air.
She said, “We aren’t afraid to have it out. If something’s not working, or we’re really peed off about something, we will row until we’re like, ‘OK, that’s off our chests now, it’s finished. Let’...
