'I have an autoimmune disorder called ankylosing spondylitis and one of the effects is decreased fertility.
'This lovely doctor was like, "Mr Rickitt, you're supposed to have a sperm count of three million, you have two." I said, "Two million?" He said, "No, you have two!"'.

'I didn't really bat an eyelid. I was like, "Oh, that's a shame, but we've got each other."
'I know having kids is very important for a lot of people, so it's almost a good thing it happened to us'.
'That's how I knew that Katy was my soul mate. We're all brainwashed with the idea you have to have kids, but we were so in love that when we found out that I couldn't, it wasn't scary at all.
'It felt natural that it was meant to be just the two of us and our dogs'.
