STACEY Solomon told Joe Swash his late dad would be ‘so proud of him’ in an emotional Father’s Day tribute.
The Loose Women star, 31, who is currently expecting her fourth baby, organised a special surprise for her fiance Joe on Sunday.
Joe’s dad Ricky Swash, a London cabbie, died when the star was just 11, from an undiagnosed heart condition Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome.
Last year, Joe discussed the heartbreaking moment he called for an ambulance when his dad passed away from a heart attack 28 years ago.
Stacey wrote on her Instastories: “Dear Daddy Joe Joe, we know you didn’t get the chance to make as many memories with your daddy as you should have done.
“We know being a daddy is your most important and special role in life, that you put everything into.
Paying tribute to Dancing on Ice champ Joe, Stacey added: “I know your Daddy looks down on you every day and is so proud of the father you are.
“The father, father figure and the role model we are just so lucky to have. Thank you for being there for ALL of our boys. Always and forever.”
Earlier in the day Stacey had joined Joe to take part in his favourite hobby – fishing.
Stacey wrote: “Good morning, Happy Father’s Day”
“Joe is over the moon because we are on our way to the lake to have a little fishing day.It’s already raining, but we are wellies and ponchoed up to the max.
“Here goes nothing! Happy Sunday everyone,” as Stacey got all emotional as Keen fisher Joe taught Stacey’s son Zach how to catch a fish.
Sharing a sweet snap of her and Joe cuddled up with Rex, Stacey wrote: “Zachy took a cute picture. Hope you’re OK today. Rex is fast asleep. I might not be far behind, but Joie is in his element and I love watching him.”
Explaining about their day as she posted snaps of their journey to the lake, Stacey added: “We arrived and Joe set us all up.”
She played Simply Red over the montage, writing: “Simply Red reminds Joe of his daddy, so this one’s for you Joe Joe. We love you.
“Not going to lie, watching him teaching Zachary set me off.”
As Joe was busy setting up his fishing equipment Stacey was left swooning over him in his fishing gear and hilariously asked if it’s “possible to get pregnant while pregnant?”.
The telly favourite gushed over Joe, who was dressed in full fishing attire as they celebrated Father’s Day.
Joe impressed Stacey as he donned a pair of combat trousers, a simple stonewashed green t-shirt and some hiking boots.
Alongside a clip of Joe showing off his fishing skills, Stacey joked: “What a sexy sport. Is it possible to get pregnant while you’re pregnant?”
The I’m a Celeb star haliriously narrated the clip, adding: “I think Joe is really pulling off the fisherman look.
The fishing trip came after an emotional week with their son Rex’s horror hospital dash.
Pregnant Stacey was relieved to be back home from hospital over the weekend with a happy Rex following his “spiked” temperature after his op.
She had rushed her two-year-old son into A&E after a “nightmare” accident earlier this week.
