Pete calls more kids ‘crazy idea’

Speaking further, Pete said that although Emily – who is a doctor – was hard at work back then, for him it still felt like a “a summer holiday at home”.

However Peter explained that now, they think it would be a “crazy idea” to have more.

Lorraine joked that Peter would like to have a whole football team’s worth of kids.

Emily laughed, agreeing: “He would! But he changes his mind! I remember him saying, ‘No, no, no, no more children’ and I think now Theo is sleeping a little bit more, he’s saying, ‘Oh, maybe we will…'”

However, she added that she was “very much focused” on her career and “getting back to that”.
