With just days left until he reports to a Federal Correctional Facility, this star has a heavy weight on his shoulders.

Joe Giudice, with the support of his wife Teresa, has spoken to Entertainment Tonight about his hopes and fears going into prison.

In a segment due to air Wednesday night, the 43-year-old star seemed very tense as he struggled to keep his emotions in check as he spoke about serving his 41-month sentence.

The sentence - which was handed down for multiple counts of fraud - starts March 23 but comes with an even bigger penalty, as Joe faces deportation.

While he has spent his entire life in America, the Real Housewives Of New Jersey star never became a citizen.

When asked about the prospect being sent to Italy, Joe tensed up, saying: 'There is a chance anything can happen, you know? There is nothing in life that is certain. We will deal with it when I get out.'

Something he wants to happen sooner than his 41 months: 'I just want to get out as quickly as I can and do whatever I can to get out of there.'

Double punishment: After his jail time, the star could be deported as he never got citizenship, something he is trying not to think about, 'There is a chance anything can happen, you know? There is nothing in life that is certain. We will deal with it when I get out'

Wife Teresa was able to get out early, serving 11 months of a 15-month sentence.

The couple are serving their sentences at different times so that someone can be around to look after their children - Gia, 15, Gabriella, 11, Milania, 10, and Audriana, 6.

The girls are completely aware of what is going on as there would be no way too shelter them from the truth, the reality star said.

Joe said: 'They go on computers, they know everything I mean my daughter Milania tells me, ''You're going away for a lot more months than mommy.'''

Trying to find one bright side of his incarceration, Joe said it would give him a chance to stop drinking.

'I haven't stopped drinking in I don't know how long, so I could definitely use it just for that, you know?' [It's] probably going to be a good thing for me, health wise anyway.'

'No cameras': The star said he just cannot wait to put this chapter behind him and made it clear, when he gets out his family's reality television stint will also be over

When asked about where he sees his family in five years he said: 'Home with our gates closed... no cameras.'

While her husband was showing signs of stress, sadness and a lot of anger, Theresa was trying to lighten the mood.

When asked what she will miss most, the star got a little raunchy: 'I'm going to miss sleeping with him at night and cuddling with him.

'I'm going to miss the passion, and I can't say any more than that,' she said laughing.
