After a little kerfuffle, Jake picked up Leo who then happily sat in his dad’s arms.

Jake is currently busy touring with Footloose, and so only gets to see his son on Sundays.

As a result, it was clear Leo was desperate for a little father and son bonding time.

“When you do have platform unfortunately you’re always going to get it, you’re going to get people questioning your decisions, you’re going to get people questioning the way you father,” he said.

“It’s quite upsetting, I’m starting to get my head around it a little bit more because I always feel like if you meet me and you know me then you wouldn’t say it. So why do I let these people affect me when they don’t know me?”

The dad-of-one added: “I argue and I let it affect my mental health and it gets me down. Trolls always pick on the things they know will hurt you, it affects you more when it’s your child.”
