Davina McCall has three children with husband Matthew Robertson

Davina McCall delivered her first child in the room her pets sleep in.

The Big Brother host and husband Matthew Robertson are parents to Holly, 7, Tilly, 5, and Chester, 2.

‘I gave birth squatting in the dog room because it was the cosiest place,’ she says. ‘The second and third times were in my living room in this huge pool.’

But Davina, 41, says Matthew, 40, who she married in 2001, hates watching her give birth.

‘Matthew finds it a bit disturbing when I’m in pain,’ she tells Sussex Life mag. 'So he brought me vegetable soup and just came in for a bit when the baby popped out.'
