Former Big Brother star Brian Dowling’s sister Aoife acted as a surrogate for the couple for a second time. The reality TV star described his sister as a “superstar” and said that they are “forever grateful”.

“You stayed so calm, considering it wasn’t exactly the birth plan we had initially hoped for,” he said.
