Katie Price faces yet more potential heartache as during a discussion about fertility in her 40s, fiancé Carl Woods revealed he’s worried about his own ability to father children after using steroids in his 20s.

The couple have made no secret of the fact they’ve been trying for a baby and recently revealed they’d turned to IVF to improve their chances.

But speaking to Stephanie McGovern on Channel 4’s flagship daytime show Steph’s Packed Lunch, Carl, who is more than ten years younger than Katie, admitted he’s had his own concerns.

“When I was younger, I couldn’t see past my nose, so I used to use steroids when I was going to the gym,” he said. “Only when you get older do you realise when you do when you’re younger could affect you when you’re older. It’s worrying.

"It’s always been in the back of my mind what potential damage I may or may not have done when I was taking them.”

After his smash hit 'Out of Your Mind' with Victoria Beckham (who Katie reportedly had a feud with) Dane went a bit quiet on the music scene. Fast forward to 2013 and he reformed with Another Level for The Big Reunion. More recently, Dane has been linked to Love Island star Laura Anderson, who he apparently ended up cheating on. He must have been out of his mind #sorrynotsorry

Matt married an actress and model called Rachael in 2016. Bizarrely, his photos have also been used in quite a few catfishing incidents. But Katie recently started following Matt on Instagram - what can this mean?

The nation watched Peter Andre fall for Katie's charms on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2004. The pair then starred in a string of reality TV shows documenting their life after a fairytale wedding. They even released an album of duets, which we'd all rather just forget about.

Before meeting Katie, Alex starred in Sliding Doors with Gwyneth Paltrow (OK, so it was a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment). After they split, Alex went on to star in Celebrity Big Brother and he continues to fight. He's been married to Nikki Manashe since 2013. Most recently, he has been involved in a sex tape allegation - claiming that Katie showed a group of people a video of him performing a sex act. Will the drama ever end? (We hope not.)

It looked like Katie had a good thing going with Kieran Hayler and their two kids, Jett and Bunny. But Kieran had to go and ruin it by cheating on Katie with her nanny, two best friends (while she was pregnant), then again with a 19-year-old shop assistant.

Earlier this month, Katie revealed they’d decided to turn to IVF so that her terminally ill mum Amy could live to see them have a child together.

“It has not happened naturally, unfortunately. I thought it would be easy as I’ve never had to plan it before. It’s always just happened,” Katie told The Sun.

“We have never been careful having sex from day one, as we knew we wanted to be together.”

She also revealed they’d call the baby Miracle if they were lucky enough to conceive.
