The mishap occurred shortly after his family, including his wife Stacey Solomon and their children, attended his pantomime performance. Joe is currently playing Flip Flop in Beauty and the Beast at the Grove Theatre in Bedfordshire.

Speaking previously about his role, Joe said: “I’ve never quite made it to Prince Charming level yet. I'm playing a character called Flip Flop. At Christmas, that's the best character.

“My kids, they're going to come down and they're going to watch it. I'm going to make sure they all laugh.

“The whole family will definitely be coming. We're going to try and find it hard keeping them away from the theatre. My mum, all of mine and Stacey's lot, they were more excited about it than me.”
