Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash might be looking to expand their family in the future by welcoming foster children into their home.
While appearing on Loose Women on Monday, Joe, 41, revealed that he and Stacey would "definitely think about" fostering children once their own brood has flown the nest.
The former King of the Jungle, who shares three children with Stacey, joined Coleen Nolan, Gloria Hunniford, Jane Moore and Brenda Edwards on the ITV chat show to talk about his new documentary programme about children's social care, titled Joe Swash: Teens in Care.
The 60-minute film, which airs on Tuesday 11 July at 9pm on BBC One, was a deeply personal endeavour for Joe, whose mum Kiffy has been a foster carer for over 15 years.

As for whether he and Stacey would have any more children of their own, Joe didn't rule it out. He said: "I'd definitely have more kids but it's not in our future yet."

Joe's Loose Women appearance comes just weeks after Stacey paid tribute to her husband in a touching Instagram post.

She continued: "You're the most incredible husband, father and father figure to ALL of our children and I feel every emotion raising our family with you."
"Everyone else comes first and nothing is ever too much, especially grateful for how much time you've taken off recently to take over at home while I'm here, there and everywhere. As hard as it is leaving some days knowing you're there giving them every bit of love they could ever need makes it easier."

Beyond this, Stacey is also a devoted mum to sons Zachary, 15, and Leighton, ten, from previous relationships. The former X-Factor star shares her eldest son with ex-partner Dean Cox, and son Leighton with her ex-fiancé, Aaron Barnham.
