I've got two kids. I did have two daughters and now I have a son and a daughter. That's quite easy for me to say now, but it wasn't maybe six or seven years ago.
The maddest thing is I suppose that it's not the most interesting thing about him. He's an incredibly funny intelligent boy, and I'm watching him grow into a wonderful human who's very talented.
