Brian Dowling didn't sleep for weeks amid fear his daughter Blake would be taken away from him

Big Brother star Brian Dowling has admitted he didn’t sleep for the first six weeks his daughter Blake was born because he feared she would be taken away from him.

The Kildare native welcomed his first daughter with husband Arthur Gourounlian last September via surrogacy.

But Brian revealed it wasn’t easy the first few weeks Blake was born, with the couple admitting they barely slept a wink for fear their daughter would be taken away from them due to the fact that his sister Aoife is considered her legal mother due to carrying Blake via surrogacy.
