The author and reality star said that fatherhood is top of his agenda now. 

‘Being the best father I could possibly be, is by far my biggest priority,’ he said.

‘I will take everyone on this journey on camera, [I’m] writing two new books this year and building two new businesses to make sure I will always be able to continue to spoil them forever,’ he said.

In March, Ollie told The Times about their plans to use a surrogate to have a baby. They will use an American egg donor and a British surrogate.

The pair will also both provide sperm, but won’t know whose ends up being used.

‘We’re mixing it up, so it’ll be whoever’s swims best on the day and we’ll never know. Although if it comes out with yellow hair, it’ll be Gareth’s,’ Ollie told the publication.

Ollie said he had changed his mind on having children after realising Gareth was his soulmate and feeling a ‘void that I couldn’t fill naturally.’ 

Meanwhile, Ollie also opened up about married life to Daily Mail Australia, saying it’s ‘pretty wonderful’ and joking that it’s now ‘much harder and more expensive to break up.’ 

The couple secretly married at London’s Natural History Museum in front of 13 guests including bridesmaids Binky Felstead and Olivia Bentley on November 4. The stunning wedding aired on E4’s MIC in December.

They hastily organised the event with just 48 hours’ notice before the second national lockdown began across England the following day. 

‘Nothing wildly changes after you get married except you can become even more yourself than you were before, as it’s much harder and much more expensive to break up,’ Ollie hilariously said.

‘Gareth now fully enjoys using my toothbrush for some reason and I have finally discovered his Krispy Kreme doughnut addiction that he had hid beforehand, I will forever now be on diabetes watch.’

Ollie also spoke about their ‘rock and roll wedding night,’ saying that they were so exhausted he fell asleep watching David Attenborough while Gareth had a few drinks in the kitchen. 

‘After the wedding I came home and it was officially lockdown,’ he said.

‘I was so completely exhausted I got into bed with a peppermint tea whist Gareth drank excessively in the kitchen.’

‘I watched David Attenborough until I fell asleep… that is our rock and roll wedding night!’
