They welcomed first child Harlow, a son, together last August and claimed to maintain a ‘normal’ life when he talked about his relationship with Kimberly in 2013.

‘I’m not good at DIY or cleaning but my cooking is OK,’ he said. ‘The club’s kitchen staff are very good, they give you stuff to take home or baby-talk you through cooking, which is what we require – we’re just lads trying to look after ourselves.

 

At home I can happily watch Test cricket all day. The England team are my heroes. I should say that I spend time reading but I don’t, although my mum will kill me for that because she is into her arts.’

 

Hart began his career with Shrewsbury Town, and proud parents Charles and Louise still live in Shropshire.

 

He made his international debut in 2008 and was England’s first choice keeper at the World Cup in Brazil.
