Messages of praise have been pouring in online for TV star Brian Dowling and Dancing with the Stars judge Arthur Gourounlian after a documentary on their journey to parenthood aired on RTE One on Monday night.
The hour-long special showed Brian’s younger sister Aoife taking on the incredible role of surrogate for the couple, and bringing their baby girl Blake into the world.
It showed all the highs and lows of the nine-month journey, as Aoife dealt with pregnancy-related carpal tunnel and prepared both mentally and physically for the birth.
