Big Brother winner Brian Dowling has described his sister as “incredible” and an “angel” in an emotional tribute after she acted as a surrogate mother for him and his husband and last week welcomed a baby girl.
The Irish TV presenter, 44, and his husband, Armenian professional dancer Arthur Gourounlian, 42, took to Instagram on Sunday to announce the birth of their daughter, Blake, on Thursday, September 1. Brian, who won the second series of the Channel 4 reality show in 2001, has now posted a lengthy and heartfelt tribute to his sister Aiofe, who carried his child.
Praising the “dedication and focus” of his surrogate sister, Brian said: "You are an absolutely incredible human. From our first jokingly conversations about this back in 2015 when you moved in with us in London to our more serious chats about it in January 2021 in the middle of the pandemic when we would go on our daily walks.
