Brian Dowling has spoken out about his unique family after his sister Aoife was a surrogate for the Big Brother and The Real Housewives of Cheshire star and his husband Arthur Gourounlian. The Irish TV presenter, who shot to fame winning Big Brother in 2001 and Ultimate Big Brother in 2010, welcomed a beautiful baby girl Blake in September using a donor egg from a woman they have never met.
Brian, 44, spoke to Kate Ferdinand on her podcast Blended about their experience. He told Kate, who is married to Manchester United legend Rio, about their experience. He told Kate proudly: "Her and Blake are going to have such a unique relationship."
As he reflected on her amazing gesture, he said he was taken aback that he and Arthur had received homophobic abuse. "Peope are fascinated with surrogacy," he said.
