The 'Made In Chelsea' star is considering having one of his friends as a surrogate as he is desperate to welcome a child into the world after finding out his co-star Binky Felstead is expecting.

He told The Sun newspaper: "I want to have a child in the next couple of years and have even discussed this with a friend of mine who is in her late thirties. She hasn't found anyone and potentially I might do something with her. It is certainly a discussion I'm having.

"I do have paternal urge, especially seeing my sister and obviously Binky too. Everything is all baby related at the moment and you very much get into that mindset.

"The first thing that went through my mind when Binky told me she was pregnant was that I realised that our childhood was over and we have to grow up. She was always the baby of the group and I thought, 'It is time to grow up now.'"

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old television personality previously revealed how his past relationship with ex-girlfriend Catherine Louise Radford made him realise he was gay and not bisexual.

He said: "It's the first time the viewers have seen me as gay instead of bi. I do say the words 'I am a gay man.'

"For me, this is a big series because I'm talking very openly about gay life, which I have never really done before. I lived with a woman last year when I was off camera, we had two dogs together. And then we broke up and in December I thought, 'That's it now, I think I'm now gay.'"
