Big Brother winner and television presenter Brian Dowling Gourounlian has announced that he and husband Arthur Gourounlian are to be parents for the second time.
Brian shot to fame after winning the second civilian series of Big Brother in 2001 (and later, Ultimate Big Brother in 2010). He and Arthur, a dancer and reality TV show judge, married in 2015.
They became fathers to a baby girl named Blake in 2022 – and today (March 9) announced that their family is expanding as they prepare to welcome another baby in just a few months' time.

"We have already been so blessed with Blake we can't believe how lucky we are as parents to welcome another baby to our family. Blake is going to be the BEST BIG SISTER EVER."
