Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon have six children between them

The former 'EastEnders' actor is dad to son Harry, 16, from a previous relationship and he also has Rex, four, Rose, 15 months, and seven-month-old Belle with the 'Loose Women' star, as well as being stepdad to her other sons, Zac, 15, and Leighton, 11, and though he admitted life is always hectic, they wouldn't change a thing.

He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It is exhausting, but I think your body just adapts to your situation. So after you've had three kids, four, five or six makes no difference.

"Me and Stacey have been tired for so long now that it's become the norm."

And the couple are thankful their elder sons are happy to help out with their younger siblings.

Joe said: "Our older kids are a godsend, they really help out. They're always helping with dinner, they help feed the kids, they're amazing.

"We're really proud of our kids, how they all muck in and help - and we don't ask them either, it's all done out of love. It's lovely to see."

The 41-year-old star and his wife have arranged their schedules so one is always off when the other is working.

He said: "Me and Stacey work quite a lot, but whenever we're not working, we want to be together with the kids. So the idea is, whenever I'm working, Stacey's at home and whenever Stacey's working, I'm at home.

"We try and do that as much as possible, so whenever we get the opportunity to spend time as a family together, we generally do that...

"It's difficult, but we've both got to work. It is what it is, but we wouldn't change it. There's so much love in this house for all these kids. We think we're really lucky."
