In 2021, the Steps singer and his wife Kerry-Lucy spoke out about the traumatic birth of their son Leo.
The couple revealed they ran into complications as their son was in the breech position, prompting Kerry-Lucy to have a C-section.
The actress also suffered with pre-eclampsia, a condition which causes high blood pressure in pregnant women.
Kerry-Lucy told OK! Magazine that she was also left terrified when the anaesthesia for her C-section wouldn’t kick in, forcing her to take more medication and have an epidural before she could be operated on.
Speaking about the operation, Kerry-Lucy said: ‘They lowered the curtains slightly so I could see him be lifted out and it was quite amazing I saw this little person.’
Lee was thrown into the deep end looking after their baby, after Kerry was put on bedrest following her operation.
Lee said of his wife: ‘Kerry likes to look after people, that’s her natural instinct. So for Kerry not to be able to do anything was quite frustrating for her. You could see she just wanted to help. But now she can carry him around and hold him and move a bit better. We’re a good team.’
The pair also revealed they ‘appreciate him so much more’ after tragically miscarrying a child, with Lee explaining: ‘We know what it’s like to be on both sides of the spectrum of having a baby. We feel really blessed.’

In April 2021, the couple told of their joy at expecting a baby after a heartbreaking miscarriage last year.
Discussing how they then felt amid other people’s baby joy, Lee previously explained to OK! magazine: ‘We’ve wanted a baby for so long. We did start thinking, “Why isn’t this working for us? What’s wrong with us?” You doubt each other slightly, but luckily we have a very strong relationship.
‘We went through a time where all of our friends were pregnant and people were always walking past us with prams and I guess we hated that and had a bit of resentment towards them, which I know we shouldn’t but it was difficult and frustrating.’
Appearing on Loose Women, Kerry-Lucy admitted she had to do three pregnancy tests before she could convince her husband it was positive in her first pregnancy.
She said: ‘I had to do three tests to convince Lee it was positive. The first was a faint line. I told him I think I’m pregnant and he said no. I got another one and the line was thick but he didn’t believe it.’
Lee added: ‘I didn’t believe it so the next day Kerry did a digital test so I couldn’t argue with that one. So far, it’s all going well.’
