James, who welcomed baby Bodhi with wife Chloe Madeley in August, said that children under three aren't interested in presents and joked he would be getting his daughter "a box with wrapping paper in it". 

Mike, who is father is Mia, eight, Lena, four, and one-year-old Lucas, added in agreement: "I tell you what you can do – just get a bag of frozen peas, because that's all that Lucas wants. Pull the freezer out, bag of frozen peas, pour it on the floor. He's got a playroom full of stuff – not interested. Go to the fridge, take all the milk out, try and crack the bottle, spill it all on the floor…"
