TOUGH TIMES: ‘WE EXPECTED EVERYTHING WOULD BE OK'

Ollie Locke-Locke has come a long way since his first appearance on Made In Chelsea in 2011 alongside his best friend Binky Felstead – who he calls the “most incredible mother” to India, four, and newborn Wolfie.

The star, now 34, and husband Gareth, 31, were one of the last couples to say “I do” in Britain before the second national lockdown in December. The pair are longing to become parents, but they recently announced their attempt at IVF via a surrogate hadn’t been successful. Ollie remains hopeful though, and reveals the support he and Gareth have had has been amazing.

“Everyone joins this one community where we’re all in the same boat together,” he says of couples trying to conceive.

Here, Ollie opens up to OK! about his journey to becoming a dad and how married life has been for him and Gareth so far…

Hi Ollie! How did you and Gareth get on with the lockdowns?
