Kieron told : “We were hoping to have a baby this year.

“Unfortunately, like anyone who is trying for a baby through IVF – whether they are gay couples or not – it is a lottery.

“The statistics when we first started it were a 70% success rate.

“We have tried it four times, with the same surrogate mum, and we have fallen into that 30% bracket of it not working.

“But we have not given up the fight and are still continuing. We are going to keep trying until it is successful.”

The determined couple, who wed in 2015, also admitted that despite their failed attempts, they’ll continue trying with the same surrogate until they have their baby.
