On taking part in Dancing on Ice, Bez told Holly and Philip on This Morning: "At the moment it's more like Bambi on Ice, not Dancing On Ice. How I got picked I don't know because I was absolutely awful at the audition but they must have seen some potential in me!"

Bez's fiancée Firouzeh Razavi

Speaking in The Guardian in 2015, Bez revealed that he was 26 when he first became a father.

He said: "I'm a hands-on dad and my two eldest boys are still very involved in my life and I have a good relationship with their mums. I'm also a grandad to Arlo’s little boy, Luca, which is a great experience because you’re looking at a little bundle who you are indirectly responsible for."

Bez added that he didn't want any more children at his age and having more would be "irresponsible".

He posted this photo of his son Arlo in the past, telling fans: "Join my son, Arlo and I THIS Monday for a live stream event, supporting the local community @ FOD Lockdown Livestreams. We will be rocking out the tunes from 7pm!"
