I just like giving things a go, you know?” he continued. “And I know the kids are watching, so it’s nice to set a good example.” Joe's new venture raised a few eyebrows, with one person commenting: "I did not know he could cook." He continued: “Sharing a great meal with family is something really close to my heart. I hope I’m recreating these memories for my own kids, and I’d love to help you do the same. Joe then went on to speak about how his new cookbook is coming out at a similar time to Stacey Solomon‘s book.
