But just before beginning fertility treatment, Cherry fell pregnant with their first child naturally while “relaxing” in Antarctica.

They paid tribute by giving Lyra the middle name Antarctica.

Ed said: “We had tried for a while to have a kid, and we’d started going to doctors and figuring out what was up.

He said: “A lot of it is mental. It’s about relaxing.

“So many of my friends have been trying different things like IVF or making sure you’re having sex at the right time on the right day, and then they go to a wedding and get p*ssed and relax and they get pregnant.

“I did think it was a miracle, so that’s why I was like, we should have this in the name.”
