Sam added: “We’d like a big family. I’m one of nine children and I’m grateful to be part of a huge family as it’s magical, but I’m not sure we’ll go to nine. That’s a lot of children and financial commitment.
“Let’s not forget I have five children on-screen too!”
The couple, who tied the knot in 2019, are yet to reveal the gender of their second baby.
