Already parents to three-year-old Farrah, the couple also told OK! how they went through three devastating miscarriages and had almost given up hope of having another baby, until now.

Just over three years on from the arrival of their daughter Farrah, the youngest member of the Foden family was welcomed into the world two weeks early via a planned C-section at 12pm on 9 January, weighing 8lb 3oz.

Ben, who has two older children Aoife, 11, and nine-year-old Tadgh (from his previous marriage with Una Healy), is the ever-doting dad as he beams, “Olympia – or, as we call her, Pia – is her mum’s double. I’m incredibly lucky.”
