Stacey Solomon has never been shy about sharing her personal life online, so fans could be forgiven for thinking they know pretty much everything there is to know about her.
Which is why people are shocked after discovering the Loose Women panelist, 32, has a very famous ex-boyfriend - and we can't believe we forgot about this iconic celebrity coupling.
One fan jogged our collective memories by tweeting pictures of Stacey and Steve-O, 47, from noughties comedy series Jackass, writing: "The oddest celebrity couple of all time i’m still in disbelief this actually happened".

A Stacey Solomon fan pondered: "Was talking about this the other day, feels like an alternate dimension".
A second reply said: "I'm f**kin decked over this what the actual f**k".
Someone else quipped: "sometimes think i made this up cos not enough people talk about it".
While another Twitter user responded with: "This is actually nuts Stacey Solomon and Steve-O used to be together".
Stacey and the entertainer known for his work in the Jackass franchise dated in 2015 after meeting on winter sports themed games show The Jump.
Despite becoming known as reality television’s most dangerous show, Stacey and Steve managed to find romance. They met in February 2015 during filming and started their relationship almost instantly. The pair kept fans up to date with Instagram selfies, some of which are still on Stacey and Steve-O's accounts.
Stacey opened up about her then blossoming relationship with Steve-O in an interview with Free Radio in March 2015. “I have no idea how it happened – I get really embarrassed [mentioning it]. We're just seeing how it goes at the moment.
"I remember feeling like this independent woman who was like 'No! I don't want to be with anybody. Stay away.’
“My focus is on my children and my work and then it got to the end of the show and, for some reason, I wasn't happy about the fact that I might never see him again and it went from there."
Steve-O spoke about how sparks started flying between the pair during an appearance on Celebrity Juice in April. “We were in Austria for six weeks together [for The Jump] and pretty much on the first night I was just getting creepy and looking her up online.
“I liked her right away and we just started having a great time.”
Stacey’s representative later confirmed their split in a statement to Mail Online, writing: "Stacey is really hurt by the whole situation, and it's not something she feels able to talk about at this moment in time."
Stacey was living in Essex at the time and Steve-O was based in L.A.
It’s no surprise that the blink and you’ll miss it relationship totally went over the heads of some of Stacey’s biggest fans.
Stacey went on to date Joe Swash in January 2016 and they became Instagram official later that month. They are now engaged and live together at 'Pickle Cottage' with their children, newborn Rose, four months, Rex, two, while Joe is step-dad to Stacey's two sons Zachary, 13 and Leighton, nine. Stacey is step-mum to Joe's son Harry, 14.
