In a photo, Boris' son could be seen with the same wild blonde hair as his famous dad as he focussed on his artwork, wearing reindeer leggings and a cosy grey cardigan featuring London guards.

Boris and Carrie's son Wilfred has begun crawling!

Shortly after Wilfred was born, the pair revealed the special meaning behind his name. Sharing a photo of herself cradling her newborn on her private Instagram account, Carrie revealed that the moniker pays a fitting tribute to their grandfathers and the doctors who helped save Boris' life after he contracted COVID-19.

Captioning the sweet image, Carrie wrote: "Introducing Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson born on 29.04.20 at 9am. Wilfred after Boris’ grandfather, Lawrie after my grandfather, Nicholas after Dr Nick Price and Dr Nick Hart – the two doctors that saved Boris’ life last month. Thank you so, so much to the incredible NHS maternity team at UCLH that looked after us so well. I couldn’t be happier. My heart is full."
