The pair, who married in 2003, have been vocal about their desire to have a big family. Joanna even hinted at being 'addicted' to having as large a family as possible!

'James is one of four, so to him four is the norm. For me one is the norm, but I can see how people get addicted to having babies.'

'I would like to keep going and pop out as many as possible - I only wish I'd started having them at a younger age.'

Congratulations Joanna and James!
