Grace Adams-Short says watching husband Mikey Dalton with their children has made her fall more in love with him.
The couple, who met while in the Big Brother house during series seven in 2006 alongside the likes of the late Nikki Grahame and winner Pete Bennett, got engaged four months after the show and are now married with four children.
Earlier this year, Grace, 36, welcomed her fourth child with Mikey, 38, and she insists seeing the property developer play the doting father has made him even more attractive to her.

She told The Sun of their relationship: ‘We still bounce off each other like we did from day one. Obviously we drive each other mad sometimes like any other couple, but we’re best friends and now we’ve got the children, it’s even deeper.
‘Seeing what a good dad Mikey is has made him even more attractive to me.’
Mikey added: ‘Grace just gets better with age, even though she hasn’t aged at all. I tell her every day how good she looks.’

Grace and Mikey welcomed son Atticus in January this year, with the couple already being parents to Georgiana, 10, Spencer, six, and Allegra, three.
And Mikey insists they have found the perfect balance as a family, with Mikey going out early in the morning to work and helping to share parenting duties in the evening.
While he says they don’t always share the same thoughts on their marriage, he insisted: ‘We want the same things out of life.’
Grace, who says she still gets recognised after appearing on Big Brother, sold the performing arts academy she set up to concentrate on looking after her children.
The couple tied the knot in October 2009 and welcomed their first child Georgina in 2012, followed by son Spencer in 2015 and daughter Allegra Portia in 2018.
They announced their pregnancy in September last year, when they revealed that, although they were actively trying for another baby, who was due on January 8, they were shocked at how fast the pregnancy came.

Grace has since detailed the tough pregnancy in an interview with OK! magazine, telling the publication: ‘It’s funny as people keep asking if we’re having any more and I’m like, “We’ve just had a baby and four is a big number!”‘
While delightedly announcing their baby news, Grace also spoke about her pregnancy and revealed she suffered a rare condition which caused issues.
She said: ‘I had to be induced early as I had a condition called anti-C, which can cause complications with the baby’s antibodies…

‘I never had it with my other pregnancies, it was stressful. All through the pregnancy I had to give blood every two weeks.’
She has previously revealed her highlight of her time on Big Brother was ‘meeting the daddy of our three munchkins’ and credited the franchise for giving her the opportunity to buy multiple homes and travel the world.
On their rise to fame, Grace previously told The Sun: ‘I absolutely loved every second of it from the audition rounds to all the amazing opportunities that came after the show. The highlight really was meeting my husband, the daddy of our three munchkins.’
She continued: ‘It was kind of like a holiday romance. We just enjoyed it really and everything we did since then has felt right for us.
‘Without Big Brother, I would never of been able to buy a quarter of a million pound flat in London by myself at the age of 20 and travel the way I did.’
The former dance teacher set up performing schools across the nation and was able to purchase properties in London and Liverpool following her Big Brother appearance, recently selling her company for millions.
