“Am loving every minute of the sleepy baby bubble. Seeing my older two embrace their new brother with such joy and excitement has been the most wonderful thing to see. We are all very smitten.

“Thank you so much to the incredible NHS maternity team at UCLH. They really are the most amazing, caring people. I feel such immense gratitude. Now, can anyone recommend any good series/box sets to binge while breastfeeding?”

The couple welcomed their first child together, Wilfred, on 29 April 2020 and their daughter Romy on 9 December 2021.

Boris is also father to four adult children with his second wife Marina Wheeler as well as another daughter from an affair.
