He said: ‘A second daughter, full house. We have to be very aware now of building the future for those guys, not us.
‘But a house full of women – even the dog. I get ignored by everyone now. I have no control over anything, I’ve learnt that…
‘I thought we’d just got past watching Peppa Pig or Duggee for the four thousandth time, or Baby Shark and then Halloween Baby Shark and Christmas Baby Shark’.
The proud father, who is Britain’s highest-paid male model, has been dating barrister Stephanie for four years yet remains coy over his private life.

The model, reported to be worth £12 million, has previously said he dreams of having a big family one day.
He said: ‘My sister has five children. So I have five nephews and nieces. We have great fun together bouncing around on the trampoline when I go to visit them. Dora too. They all want to play. I’ve seen them growing up. It’s a great family.’
Asked whether he would look to beat his sister’s achievement, he said: ‘I’m definitely not going to try and beat that record. Stephanie can have five. I’ll have five cars.’
David’s most high-profile romance has been with former The Saturdays singer turned radio presenter, Mollie King, 31. The couple dated for 10 months back in 2011, before reconciling once again in 2015.

David and Mollie parted ways in early 2016, shortly before the model started his relationship with talented criminal lawyer Stephanie.
The hunk also dated model and nutritionist Sarah Ann Macklin, 29, for a year from 2012 to 2013.
David shot to fame back in 2001 when his then-housemate entered him into a modelling competition on ITV’s This Morning without his knowledge. He subsequently won the competition and was awarded a contract with Select Models.
During his appearance on the show he discussed his start there, saying: ‘It’s really lovely. I always jump at the chance to come back because this is where it all started, of course.’
Phillip then added it was never David’s plan to be a model and David said, ‘No, I didn’t have a clue about it [the industry]. I never aspired to go into the fashion industry. But we won the competition and [people] saw something that could be there.’
