'When me and Dean met four years ago he always said that he wanted kids and I said I definitely wanted kids one day. So, I can't wait for that day to finally happen.'
Partner Dean added: 'When we're out shopping and we see children's clothes, we're both like, "Aw, that would be lovely."'
The couple started the process of adoption in January 2019 but it was delayed last year due to the pandemic.

During lockdown Harry and Dean launched their successful make-up brush business Celebrity Brushes and decided to pause their adoption for two years to focus on the company.
Dean explained: 'When we started the adoption process, we actually started it two years ago in the January, and then Covid started in March last year so we didn't even get a chance to get into it properly.
'All the meetings were cancelled. Obviously during the first lockdown there was nothing going on, no meetings, and you had to stay at home.

'We planned to launch Celebrity Brushes actually the year after. Because we were both at home, we had already started on all the designs already so we just said lets bring it forward because we've got this time on our hands, lets do something positive with it.
'Then obviously we didn't expect it to be as big as it is.'
Harry added:'We're still really passionate about going through our adoption process. It's something we are 100% doing.'
