"She was about to get home and I quickly changed it to a soundtrack classical playlist.
"She came in and I got down on one knee and honestly, the moment I said: "Will you marry me?" the Jurassic Park theme tune came on."

They kept fans updated throughout their pregnancy journey on their Instagram pages.

Sharing an adorable black and white photo of their baby's feet, the pair revealed their son's name - Wilde Cooper-Dommett.
Captioning the post, Hannah wrote: "Wilde Cooper-Dommett. Pinterest perfect baby feet that are already bigger than his Dad's."

He was a huge hit when he was a finalist on I'm a Celebrity in 2016.
This saw him go on to host the show's spin-off show Extra Camp.
