Craig has kept his fans up to date with his new life as a dad, including a photo of him buying nappies with a confused look on his face. You're not alone there, Craig!

Craig and Laura got married back in February 2018, after he proposed on Harbour Bridge during a romantic trip to Sydney, Australia. Rather than asking for gifts from guests, the couple asked that they donate to hospice charities instead.

The TV personality became the first winner of Big Brother, and later scored a hit single with the Christmas song 'At This Time of Year'.
