Dyer, who is the daughter of EastEnders stars and avid West Ham fan Danny Dyer, had previously had a son with a former partner but it was the first time Bowen had become a dad.

"It will be hard but I'll just get extra help whenever I need it and I'll be taking the kids to as many games as I can, especially whilst they are small and can't move around."
