Stacey Soloman exclusively revealed to Closer in September that, while “being single is fun”, she was waiting for Prince Charming to live happily ever after with her two boys.

And it seems that Stacey may just have found her Prince in Joe Swash!

Speaking to Lorraine, the 26 year old - who has been dating the former EastEnders star since November 2015 - revealed that their relationship is going “really, really well” and she feels “lucky” to be with him.

Aww!

When asked about how the two met, Stacey said: “We met loads of times, we’d sort of crossed paths and been in each other’s company, but we actually spent the most time with each other in Australia, so yeah that’s where, I guess.”

Stacey won I’m A Celebrity in 2010, two years after Joe Swash was crowned King of the Jungle himself.

Joe went on to present the show’s spin-off on ITV2, where the pair spent time together after Stacey won the series.

And, when asked if she’d like to work with Joe, Stacey admitted that it would be “so much fun” and a “dream job”.

Could we see the couple presenting I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here, NOW! together?

Telling Lorraine that she gets embarrassed talking about their relationship on TV because she knows Joe will be watching, Stacey explained that his down to earth character is what she likes about the EastEnders star.

She said: “He’s normal, he’s just so normal and down to earth and lovely and reminds me of me, and my family, and reminds me of home.

“He is amazing, he’s just an amazing guy. He’s going to have such a big head after this show. I hope he is still in bed asleep!”

Stacey is from Dagenham, whilst Joe is from Islington; so the pair’s hometowns are very close, which could be why Stacey feels Joe reminds her of home.

We’re glad the pair are so happy together, and can’t wait to see what the future holds for them!

Lorraine is on ITV, weekdays from 8.30am to 9.25am
