JLS' Aston Merrygold admits he doesn't want anymore children after sleepless nights

Aston Merrygold has admitted that he doesn't want anymore children with partner Sarah Louise Richards and finds that having his two sons is enough.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Aston admitted that he was knackered after staying up with his children all night.

"Dad of two, they were up last night," he told hosts Kate Garraway and Richard Madeley before turning to the camera and waving. "So hi boys!"

Quizzed on how old they were, Aston said: "One and four."

"Busy age," Kate said in sympathy.

He continued: "And they were at the O2 last night as well. They were wired, so excited. So they've been up all night."

Richard added: "So the four-year-old is full of assertion now - I have a four-year-old grandson so I know what they're like. And the one-year-old is just downloading."

"We call him the shadow because it's basically whatever Grayson does, Macaulay has to do," Aston said. "We're in that stage."

Asked whether fatherhood was what he expected, Aston said: "Better. Best thing ever, best job ever. Best thing I've ever done."

"It defines your life, doesn't it," Richard pointed out.

"Oh yeah, it gives me reason to wake up and literally get up and motivate me," he replied. "So it is amazing."

Richard couldn't help asking: "Would you have any more?"

"No," Aston replied firmly as he shook his head. "I've got two arms, I can't chase three - two is good for me."

It comes after Susanna Reid was replaced by Kate as she takes time off for the Easter holidays.

Following Piers Morgan's exit from the ITV show last year, Susanna has acted as the main anchor on the show and is joined by a rotating door of co-hosts.

Kate was joined by Richard to present the ITV programme, but fans were confused as to where Susanna was.

One tweeted: "where my susanna? #gmb."

While another commented: "Wtf is going on Meridian news No Susanna but Richard #GMB."

*Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV
