Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are portrayed as one of Britain's premier showbiz power couples. After crossing paths on I'm A Celebrity, the duo found love and sealed their bond in a breathtaking celebrity wedding at their home Pickle Cottage.

The snaps were shared across their individual social media accounts, where they treat followers to glimpses of their comfortable existence in their 1.2million property. This week, their marriage faced scrutiny over claims they never completed the legal formalities of their back garden ceremony, which would render the union technically unofficial.

This would also safeguard both Stacey and Joe and their wealth, should disaster strike. Stacey has accumulated a remarkable fortune since achieving stardom. The former vocalist featured on The X Factor in 2009, securing third place and is now at the pinnacle of every brand's collaboration wishlist.

It was claimed that Stacey secured her first million in 2019 a decade after she exploded onto the scene. Just a few years later, in 2022, it was suggested her net worth had soared to 5million. Claims last year indicated that Stacey had earned around 500,000 in the preceding 12 months.

Stacey could also command an eye-watering 12,000 for a sponsored Instagram post, according to reports. Meanwhile, her Tap to Tidy publications also generate income for the star, who was reportedly earning around 27,000 per week.

While Joe has been declared bankrupt on two occasions, first in 2009 and subsequently in 2013 owing to outstanding tax debts, he's no longer regarded as bankrupt. According to Spear's magazine, Joe possesses an estimated net worth of approximately 1.5million. The actor has earned his wealth through numerous television roles.

Most notably, Joe portrayed Mickey Miller on EastEnders from 2003 to 2008. He subsequently returned for brief appearances in 2011 and 2024. He was also crowned champion of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2008, before participating in the inaugural All Stars series in 2023.

Joe presented the spin-off, Celebrity Extra Camp, from 2009 to 2019, earning a substantial fee for his involvement. Since then, he's continued to host various television programmes with Stacey, while also serving as a team captain on Hole in the Wall.

Stacey and Joe purchased their mansion, Pickle Cottage, in March 2021, one year prior to their wedding ceremony, which took place in the grounds. The couple exchanged vows in a beautiful, blessed ceremony, surrounded by their nearest and dearest.

But who actually owns Pickle Cottage? Official records reveal that Stacey is the exclusive owner of the property, situated in Brentwood. She paid 1.3million for the detached, four-bedroom residence. Pickle Cottage features two bathrooms and three reception rooms. Since acquiring the property, Pickle Cottage has been subject to major refurbishments, which Stacey has chronicled on her social media platforms. Nevertheless, Pickle Cottage isn't Stacey's sole residence. Her company, Key Map Entertainments also purchased 1million worth of real estate, according to The Sun.

In 2021-2022, the records reveal that the company bought 1.5M in property investments. In the 2022/23 year, the company had secured an additional 800k. It's believed her existing property portfolio would be valued at around 6million.

The paperwork mentions "fixed investments," which typically relates to the acquisition of land or buildings.
