‘I already have two. I have a stepson, and I’m already broke, if I’m honest. So I do not know. It’s going to be tough, but I love being a parent and stepparent more than anything I’ve ever done,” he began.

“So I think it’s good to add one more. were excited. We don’t know when. We don’t really put in the time.’

‘I already have two. I have a stepson, and I’m already broke, if I’m honest. So I do not know. It’s going to be tough, but I love being a parent and stepparent more than anything I’ve ever done,” he began.

He added that he is not a strict father or stepfather and considers himself a “playful” parent.

‘I’m not that strict. My father was a bit strict, but I am more playful. I just want to play,” he said.

“When Leo wants hugs, he goes to Mommy. If he wants to mess around, he comes to me. And I don’t mind. I’d like a hug every now and then.’

He finished: ‘But hey, I like being the fool, you know? I mean, yeah, it’s great.’

The couple tied the knot in Ibiza last month. He asked in August last year after three years of dating.

This year’s NTAs were broadcast live from a brand new location of Wembley’s OVO Arena with Joel Dommett hosting.

The 2022 National Television Awards saw Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby booed by some audience members, before This Morning was announced as the winner of the Best Daytime Award.

The presenters found themselves at the center of the ‘queue’ controversy’ in September when they were accused of skipping the line to see the Queen in state, which they both denied.

Despite the criticism the broadcasters received, the show still won the Daytime gong, with Phillip saying the award “means so much to us every year, especially this year.”

Other notable winners at the ceremony – held at the OVO Arena in Wembley, London – included Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly for Best Presenter, Anton Du Beke for TV Judge, Peaky Blinders for Returning Drama and Emmerdale for Serial Drama.
