The six-part series was filmed last year in the summer and autumn, and it includes the couple celebrating their second wedding anniversary alongside events such as son Zach getting his GCSE results and Stacey winning at the NTAs.
"It was a huge leap into the unknown & it’s been an absolute whirlwind making it," Stacey said when the show was announced.
"But last year, as a family, we decided to say yes to more & do things we’d never done. We have spoken about making a documentary for a long time, lots of you have asked too."
