Zara gave birth to her third child Lucas at home after he arrived quicker than expected.
Mike said: “Lucas, the third one, was rapid.
"As we got our stuff to go to hospital, she got out of the bath, she could barely stand, she was shaking. The midwife was like, ‘She’s not making the hospital.’

Mike made his campmates Scarlette Douglas and Boy George laugh as he told how Zara's strength in labour had overpowered him.
Asked whether Zara was in pain, he replied: “She was, it was fast though, from that moment.
"She almost choked me to death.
“You can’t say anything can you? ‘Can you let go, you’re really hurting me?!’”
