He told Coaching From The Coach: "It is a right good laugh, I have got to be honest. It is fun to do.
"As you grow up, you spend less time having family time, so it's nice as it makes us as a family have to do that, so that's the good thing about doing it.
"It is a good laugh but don't get me wrong, we do start rowing about who is eating too many cakes!"
Hopefully we’ll get a glance of the new baby on the next series!
