Most surprising thing about being a dad?

"Knowing you can create something so so beautiful. It feels right but at the same time you look at your baby and think 'oh my god I created this perfect piece that was missing from the puzzle'."

Greatest piece of dad advice you鈥檝e been given?

"No one is ready to be a parent/dad. And I didn鈥檛 believe it at first, but it鈥檚 so true. Every day I do my best to make sure I鈥檓 the best dad there is."

Best thing about being a dad?

"Waking up to her trying to giggle, or even her fake little cry. But then also seeing her smile just melts my heart."

Describe fatherhood in three words?

"Amazing, loving and proud."

One thing you didn鈥檛 think you鈥檇 do as a dad (but now do)?

"Changing the nappies. I thought I would absolutely heave and gag at even thought of it, but after the first one I got used to it."

Best skill you鈥檝e developed as a dad?

"It鈥檚 weird to say, but changing her nappies. It doesn鈥檛 faze me one bit, and I鈥檝e become so quick I feel like I could enter the Guinness World Records."

Which TV/movie dad are you?

"I would say I鈥檓 like Gru from Despicable Me, when he adopts the three little girls. At first, he is scared but as time goes on he will do absolutely anything for them. For me, that was the kind of same situation. When my baby girl was born, I was petrified as she was my first but then as days went on, I started to understand and now even though she鈥檚 only two months old, I would do absolutely anything for her and my girlfriend. I would travel to the moon and back for them both."
