Speaking to the Mirror, he said: “Bolla has got a bear suit and he looks super cute in it. We put him in it when we go for a walk. “I needed to drop something off at my local shop.

As I arrived, the lady was like, ‘Oh, you have a teddy bear. It’s lovely you have a teddy.’ “When I told her I hadn’t, she replied ‘Oh my goodness, you have got a real baby’.
