But as she was being introduced, BAFTA host Rob Beckett made a tongue-in-cheek comment about Joe.

“Next is the award for factual entertainment, to present it is the host of Sort Your Life Out,” co-host Romesh Ranganathan announced.

“Which is a bit much coming from the person who married Joe Swash,” Rob chipped in before calling Stacey a “national treasure”.

Giggling as she walked onto the stage, she looked over to the hosts and said: “He’s not that bad,” before joking: “He is”.

She told the audience that she’s “very excited to be out of the house”.

“Usually I’m sat on the sofa watching these kind of shows with five kids, and a Joe Swash, so this has been lovely” she laughed.

Stacey looked incredible in the black sparkly number, which showed off her figure after recent weight loss.

Her dress features a high split which highlighted her incredibly toned legs.

Her blonde locks were styled in glamourous loose waves and parted to the side.

Stacey’s make-up showcased full lashes, a nude lip and she wore a pair of small hoop earrings and dainty necklace to complete her look.

This comes after Stacey’s Loose Women co-star Linda Robson revealed that Stacey will not be making a big return as a regular panelist any time soon as she is ‘too busy’ to come back to the job full-time.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Birds Of A Feather legend Linda said: “She’s not going to be a regular anymore? I don’t think so, but you never know.

“I would love her to come back, she’s a really good Loose Woman – she’s really honest. But I think she’s got too much on.

“She’s got her own series and her and Joe are out in their little house. She’s still really welcome but she’s just so busy.”
