Opening the door to their beautiful Surrey home, Camilla Kerslake and Chris Robshaw are a picture of happiness.
England rugby legend Chris is proudly cradling their newborn son, Hunter, while their three-year-old, Wilding, looks on in delight.
The couple, who recently celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary, look well rested and fresh-faced, despite the chaos you'd expect with a new baby.
However, this wasn't the scene just weeks earlier.
Hunter arrived on 18 July weighing 6lb 11oz, two weeks before his due date - and Camilla's midwives were stuck in rush-hour traffic. Worried they wouldn't reach Camilla in time for her planned home birth, they asked for back-up, and in dramatic fashion two ambulances and six paramedics arrived at the couple's home.
Chris, 38, who retired as a rugby union player earlier this year and now works in business development for an insurance company, says, "I thought I was going to have to deliver the baby, but they sent an ambulance instead." "They were all incredible," Camilla, 36, says. "But my midwife arrived, perhaps an hour later than she would have liked, and we did have the birth plan we wanted.
"We had two ambulances outside and then my mother arrived - she'd been stuck in the same traffic - and she's the kindest, most mild-mannered person, but in that moment, she was barging through asking to see me, but actually everything was fine." There's more excitement to come for the KerslakeRobshaws as Chris is set to appear in the next series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, but it seems they've all settled into life as a family-of-four quickly, and Camilla puts this down to her confidence as a second-time mum.
