Mark has constantly fielded questions about when he and the former Corrie star will start a family of their own.

The pair who married in 2015 have said they do want to have children, but Michelle is keen to focus on her career for the timebeing.

 "I’ve got something to ask you actually, in case this happens," Mark started.

"Me and my wife, we’re not trying for kids yet, I’m gonna state that, however we hopefully one day will have kids and she loves both ‘Teddy’ and ‘Theodora’, right, and said - I mean she saw a picture I think of you and the family - and said 'Oh I love that name so much'.

"I’m asking you, if it comes to it and she wants to call the kid Theodora or Teddy, are you gonna be alright with that?"

Robbie gave him the all clear, admitting he'd stolen the name himself from Keith Richards.

But for Michelle, the constant questions about when she's starting a family are "frustrating".

The Our Girl actress, hit back at sexist double standards, insisting "nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors".

Speaking in the August issue of , the 33-year-old said: "A few years ago it didn't bother me and I answered the question, but now I think, 'I don't need to answer that because nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors'.

"I know for a fact if Mark finished a job, nobody would ask him if he was going to have a baby. It's not fair. It does make me feel frustrated."
