The beauty put on a loved-up display with fiancé Joe on Bank Holiday Monday as they enjoyed their first date night since last year.
Posting two loved-up snaps with Joe from the sprawling gardens of her new £1.2million Essex mansion, the presenter shared a gushing post as she thanked the former EastEnders star for being her ‘rock’.
Stacey penned: ‘Date Night. The sun has got his hat on and Joes finally taken his off! Last time we went on a date was last year in Ikea.
‘Aw bubs I miss you. Even though you’re always there, sometimes I still miss you. Thank you for being my rock always… I Love you to the moon and stars and back again… Always bubs.’
Meanwhile, the couple have been busy planning their wedding, which will take place at their new £1.2million home Pickle Cottage after Joe proposed on Christmas Eve.

Speaking about their ceremony recently, Stacey told OK! Magazine: ‘It will just be me, Joe, my family and the rabbi in the garden at this rate. No food, no disco, nothing. So I’ve not sorted out my wedding and I’ve not sorted out this house.’
Stacey revealed the couple were engaged when she shared a snap of herself wearing her ring and wrote: ‘To the moon and back bub. I have no words.’
The loved-up pair met on the set for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! when the artist was crowned Queen of the Jungle and the former EastEnders star hosted spin-off series Extra Camp in 2010, a year after he took home the title.
The duo confirmed their relationship in January 2016, with the auburn-haired beauty stating at the time: ‘It’s going really well… we’re having fun, spending time together and getting to know each other.’
They announced they were expecting their first child together in February 2019, and welcomed baby Rex three months later.
