Since becoming parents, both Ola, 38, and James, 42, have been completely devoted to their baby girl, their first child together. They have been isolating at their home during the coronavirus pandemic, and while they have loved the extra family time it has offered them, they also admitted it has been a very unusual time to have a baby.

The couple will soon celebrate Ella's first birthday

"I can't remember the life we had without her to be honest," Ola recently told HELLO!. "She has taken over now! It is really weird as I feel like I've been home ever since I had her."

James added: "Ella hasn't met another baby yet…" to which, Ola continued: "I would like her to meet someone the same age, to see what she does. She is missing out on interacting with other babies as well. I'm sad for her that she isn't getting that interaction that she would normally."
