Joe Swash, the beloved British actor and television presenter, has become a familiar face in UK households for more than two decades. From his early days on EastEnders to his roles on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and numerous other reality and entertainment shows, Swash has carved out a lasting place in the public eye. Today, his net worth is estimated at £1.5 million (approximately $1.9 million), according to Spear’s Magazine. And alongside his wife, Stacey Solomon, whose estimated net worth is £3.8 million, the couple is enjoying life in their dream family home—Pickle Cottage.
From Soap Star to Reality TV Regular
Joe Swash rose to fame playing Mickey Miller in EastEnders from 2003 to 2008. Though his character was initially intended for a brief arc, Joe’s popularity with viewers led to an extended stay on the show. His charm, comedic timing, and relatable on-screen persona made him one of the show’s standout characters.
In 2008, Swash transitioned from soap actor to reality TV star, when he entered the jungle on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and ultimately won the series. That victory marked a major turning point in his career. Not only did it boost his public image, but it also landed him a long-term gig as a presenter on the show’s spin-off series, Extra Camp. This role continued for 10 years and further established his place in UK entertainment.
Financial Ups and Downs
Despite his enduring television presence, Swash has not been without financial difficulties. He declared bankruptcy twice, first in 2009 and again in 2013, due to unpaid taxes. Joe has been candid about his financial struggles, explaining that he was young and inexperienced when he first came into money.
“I was chucking it away on stuff I didn’t need,” he told The Mirror. “I went out every night and had a house with a mortgage. When you’re young, you just don’t think it’s ever going to end.”
He later admitted that illness also played a role in his financial troubles. Swash had to take a year off work after contracting viral meningitis, which caused him to fall behind on bills and taxes.
A Comeback and a New Life with Stacey Solomon
Joe’s fortunes began to turn around both personally and professionally when he met Stacey Solomon in 2010, while they were both filming in Australia for I’m a Celebrity. Stacey, then a contestant on the show, caught Joe’s eye—he was presenting the spin-off, and the pair quickly formed a connection.
In their recent BBC One series, Stacey and Joe, the couple shared their love story. Stacey recalled their first meeting: “He was so funny and so silly, he made mummy laugh a lot.” Joe joked that Stacey had a heavenly glow about her as she walked out of the jungle and that she “smelled different” in the best way.
After returning to the UK, the couple began dating. Their relationship blossomed over the years, leading to their marriage in July 2022 at Pickle Cottage, their £1.2 million Tudor-style home in Essex. The estate spans 2.5 acres, and has undergone extensive renovations—including a man cave for Joe—many of which have been documented by Stacey on social media.
Family Life in Pickle Cottage
Joe and Stacey now share a lively household filled with children and pets. Together, they are raising three children: Rex, Rose, and Belle. Additionally, Stacey has two sons, Zach and Leighton, from previous relationships, and Joe has a son, Harry, from a previous relationship.
Their household is full of love—and life. Along with five children, the family home includes two dogs and four ducks, adding to the joyful chaos. Fans get regular glimpses into their home life via Stacey’s Instagram, where she shares adorable family moments, crafting hacks, and home organization projects.
Stacey’s career has also skyrocketed in recent years. Her BBC show Sort Your Life Out, where she helps families declutter and redesign their homes, has been a major success. Her popularity as a DIY and home decor influencer has led to brand partnerships, book deals, and a growing presence in the lifestyle space.
Joe Swash Net Worth in 2025
Despite previous financial setbacks, Joe has rebuilt his earnings. His net worth as of 2025 is estimated at £1.5 million, thanks to his long-term television career, endorsement deals, and consistent appearances on reality shows. His memorable turns on Celebrity MasterChef, Dancing on Ice, and other variety programs have kept him relevant and in demand.
The recent BBC series Stacey and Joe not only gives audiences an intimate look at their family life but also provides another income stream for the couple. With Joe turning 42 in 2025, his career is showing no signs of slowing down.
Meanwhile, Stacey’s net worth continues to climb. With a reported £3.8 million fortune, she brings in income from television, books, brand partnerships, and her ever-expanding fan base. Together, the couple’s combined net worth exceeds £5.3 million, making them one of the UK’s most beloved—and successful—celebrity power couples.
