"We were living at her mum's house at the time and she was getting changed in her room – we weren't allowed to stay in the same room – and I was getting changed in my room downstairs. "Then we both came to the kitchen and we were like 'Wow'. It was a LOT of leather. We still have those outfits..."

He also revealed that Victoria stopped him from making another fashion mistake he would end up regretting. "Once I bought this suit jacket that was Galliano, so it was obviously very expensive, and it had half a pink bra hanging out of the inside pocket, sewn in," he said.

This one the kids will laugh at, as they see what Daddy looks like in the morning!"
