Reuben had severe OCD as a child, which led to him being hospitalised, and Sean told Wales Online that he and his wife initially worried that it was in some way their fault. "Luned and I were worried that we would be judged as parents - did we work too much? There is all this stigma for parents, too… The worry that if we talked about Reuben's OCD, we'd be judged, he'd be judged."
But opening up about their family's challenges brought the star a lot of support. He said: "It was like a weight had been lifted from our shoulders… many parents have been in touch sharing their experiences and concerns."
Helen Skelton
Helen Skelton, 37, is a proud mum of two. She has been married to English professional rugby league footballer Richie Myler since 2013. Eldest son Ernie was born in 2015, followed by Louis in 2017. Speaking to The Mirror, Helen revealed that she's not a strict mum.

Speaking to HELLO! about the overwhelming support and positive messages she received after sharing her story, she said: "So many women – and men – got in touch to say: 'We've carried this as a secret, but well done you for bringing it out into the open because it's still taboo and it shouldn't be."
Ellie Harrison
Ellie, 43, lives in Gloucestershire with her fiance partner Matt Goodman, with whom she shares three children - two daughters and a son - although Ellie prefers to keep them out of the spotlight.

Giving a rare insight into her family life in an interview with Radio Times, Ellie revealed that she prefers not to be away from her kids for long stints. She said: "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't be a Steve Backshall or a Bear Grylls because you can't be on huge expeditions for weeks and months on end and be present in your children's lives."
Matt Baker
Matt Baker, 43, and his wife Nicola have two children. In 2009, the couple welcomed their first child together, a boy, followed two years later by a daughter. Now 12 and 10, respectively, Luke and Molly love helping their famous dad around their family farm.
