Covid hitting hard this week! Should have been the Christmas nativity today instead poor Eva is being closely monitored in hospital, still smiling of course. Give your loved ones an extra cuddle tonight!

Happy 6th birthday Eva! On a day when Downs Syndrome will be in the news we are so proud of Eva and wouldn’t change her for the world.

When Eva’s a little older I’ll definitely tell her about the day she made tens of thousands of people smile on twitter! Thank you everyone for such lovely messages.

Nick Sheeran has returned to school seven months after his life was saved by a defibrillator he'd decided to install at his school.
This is the feelgood story of the day 😂♥️
Proud Pobbler! When Eva started school she was largely non-verbal relying on Makaton to communicate. She’s just asked to type up her writing homework which she is reading back to herself 😃

Happy heartaversary today for our amazing Eva. 5 years ago today the amazing LGI team mended Eva’s special heart. She’s made so many people smile since.

After cancelling my mums 70th birthday party and with no option for visitors and family cake my dad took a novel approach to ensuring my mum knew we were all thinking of her today!

Everyday is different as a daddy! Today I wrapped my arm in a cling film bandage with Eva as she needed some support prepping for some blood tests.

The amazing Eva is 9 today! Always overwhelmed by how many people in my Pobble community ask about her when we’re together.
As always she is smiling (Eva though she didn’t like me cheering at the football).
Go Eva… the best nine years ever.

So many lovely messages last night.
Thank you ❤️
Eva has pneumonia but as she no longer needs oxygen to help with her breathing so they’ve allowed her home to recover! 🛌😴
What a trooper she is!

Hospital camp bed for the evening. Anna and Elsa to the rescue! Being on the childrens ward always reminds me how many incredibly strong children there are. As teachers we are so lucky to work with them.

So many lovely comments today about Eva riding her bike. 🚴♀️
To put it into context what an achievement it is, this is her first attempt on a balance bike about two and a half years ago. Anything is possible 😃 thanks

So today consisted of a giant tea party in the reading den! Characters from some of our favourite films and programmes made guest appearances. Can you spot your favourite? Who are we missing?

Understandably, in amongst all that’s going on, this is unlikely to get its usual exposure. If you’re at home with your family tomorrow, give them a cuddle, pop on your odd socks and share a photo.

So proud of how many people ask about Eva when I’m out and about! Her story is so inspiring and she amazes us every day.

Got to see my mum and dad last night (from a safe distance) for the first time in 3 months. Having developed a new enjoyment of gardening during lockdown it made me appreciate even more how talented my Dad is. He’s clearly enjoyed three months in his garden.

After the response to yesterday’s home learning pic I’m going to share as many ideas as I can over the coming weeks with the hope it can help somebody. Today we got out a dice and our old favourite the compare bears (any objects will do)!

I’ve chosen to no longer have representation as either an actor or director.
It’s time to dance to my own rhythm and stop waiting on others.
I’m having it.
And if I never work again... boy, have I had a blast! 👊
Any enquiries via myself or my publicist

So proud of the number of people who have now heard of Pobble. We're delighted we can now call ourselves BETT award winners and even more excited about inspiring more young writers in 2018.

We’ve learnt lots of new things in Lockdown! Not sure when this Reception child will be able to go back but until then we will try and ensure we keep learning and having fun.

Happy holidays to all those teachers and pupils finishing today. So proud of Eva and so grateful to all the amazing staff at her school. Not the year in school we were all expecting, but been incredible to see how Eva has developed.
