Speaking on Instagram alongside Zachary, Elliott said: "Mimi is 13, so for me it's been like having a young daughter - obviously she is not my daughter - but that has been a great experience because I've only really experienced a boy."

He went on: "We've had Tia over this week, and I've just loved that for Zac, that's been such a special relationship that they've both got, they're like brother and sister. That's fantastic, because I think that's something Zac has always wanted."

Speaking about the blended family, Zachary added: "It's been great, obviously I'm extremely close with my mum as well, but to have dad have some more people in his life has been lovely.

"I'm pleased for dad really, having Sharon and having the girls."

Speaking to their fans, they explained that Sharon and Mimi will move into Elliott's newly renovated Essex home, where there is also room for Tia and Zachary.
