When he and Adderley’s first child was born, Walsh shared a humorous anecdote about fainting during the labour.
He wrote on Instagram at the time: “I passed out during the birth. Of course I did.”
He added: “The nurse’s response? ‘Men’. Fair.”
Walsh praised the “great” hospital staff for taking care of both Grace and their newborn.
In a more recent TV appearance, Walsh was lambasted by Celebrity Mastermind fans for his ‘disrespectful’ conduct on the quiz show.
