Stacey Solomon has revealed that her husband Joe Swash gave her a very unflattering nickname on their new Channel 4 show.
The presenter, 34, landed a new DIY show called Stacey Solomon’s Renovation Rescues, which aired its first episode on Wednesday night.
In the series, Stacey comes to the aid of homeowners who have been left stranded by builders who abandoned their projects.
She helps families solve the problem they are in and learn the skills (such as painting, decorating, basic plumbing and construction work) necessary to do it themselves and recover the costs.
During the first show, Stacey explained how she wanted to transform Pickle Cottage’s garage into a workout space.

Joe, 42, couldn’t resist coming to check out his wife’s plans for the area, fearing she wouldn’t leave room for his prized fishing gear.
The mother of five explained that she planned to build a wall to act as a partition, so they could both have their own separate areas.
However, the actor didn’t really like the idea and came up with a new rude nickname for Stacey to show his displeasure.
Stacey explained to the cameras: “Joe calls me Donald Trump because he says I’m always building walls.”
Donald Trump infamously pushed for a wall to be erected on the US-Mexico border during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Elsewhere in the episode, Stacey went to help Caroline and Erik, who were hoping to renovate their bungalow in Enfiled into their dream home.
However, a series of costly mistakes had left the couple devastated and on the brink of having to remortgage their home and borrow money from family to complete the renovation.
Stacey immediately got to work with a series of ideas to save some money, helping them clad a wall with a secret door, saving them from shelling out £6,000 on bi-fold doors.

The Loose Women star also convinced Caroline and Erik to keep windows in the hallway, to brighten the entrance and save some extra money.
The couple ended up managing to finish the rebuild £5,000 under budget thanks to Stacey’s help and couldn’t help but smile with joy.
Renovation Rescues has already been ordered for a second series and is produced by none other than Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine company.
Stacey previously admitted she was surprised the Hollywood star, 48, had wanted to work with her.
Speaking to Mail’s Weekend magazine, she gushed: “My God, what an incredible feeling to be asked.”
“I was really like, ‘How does she know me?’ Still to this day I don’t know how they found me. They just said they wanted me.
‘Maybe some of his researchers and his team had seen the show. Well, I guess they should have known something about me.
Stacey also has another award-winning DIY show, Sort Your Life Out, which ran in four BBC series and recently won an award.

When talking about the new program, he said that he loved helping those in need and that in doing so he had also learned.
She explained: ‘I’ve learned what really makes a home a home by doing this show. The people I know find themselves in horrendous situations and what keeps them together is not what’s on the walls, how pretty or orderly things look, but who they are as a unit.
“We definitely helped them on the other side, but in the end they still survive and are still there for each other.” That’s what really matters in the end.’
Stacey admitted: ‘I want to cry with them. Someone they truly trusted had betrayed them.
‘It’s a big shock to their system and a trauma that makes them feel like this can happen everywhere in their lives. I tell them, “I totally understand why you’re so nervous about doing this again, you’ve been through such a horrible time.”
‘I see the tension lift from their shoulders: finally someone listens to them, understands them and validates them. They no longer feel like idiots.
