The loved up couple welcomed their baby girl into the world in April, and now the 33-year-old comedian has revealed the pair not only have the cord on display, but they also had the placenta turned into gummy bears.
Appearing on Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe's 'Lockdown Parenting Hell' podcast, he said: "[The umbilical cord] fell off - a week in, early doors.
"We kept that little bit for a book. We got the actual umbilical cord framed."
He compared the cord - which is hanging on the wall in their daughter's bedroom - to "a set of headphones".
He added: "Do you know what’s next to it? The scissors I used to cut the umbilical cord.
"The doctor gave me the scissors and let me keep the scissors. Sort of like how you get a lolly once you’ve come out the doctors.
"We gave the placenta to someone and they turned the placenta into gummy bears. I’ve eaten it, yeah. It’s gummy bears, isn’t it?!
"They take the good bits from the placenta and put it into gummy bears."
Meanwhile, new mum Laura recently admitted he feels "guilty" about feeling good after giving birth.
She wrote on Instagram: "I’ve been told I won’t be able to leave the house and should feel s***.
"But I actually feel the best I’ve felt ever and the happiest I’ve ever been in my entire life. And maybe feel a bit guilty for feeling good as I’ve been told I shouldn’t.
"But I’ve created something incredible. I had a positive natural birth with thankfully no complications and a baby that LOVES the boob (and jaysus those boobs are looking good!) also a supportive partner who loves changing dirty nappies (well at least he does them anyway!)
"I am lucky that’s my truth at the moment – I’m sure there will be tougher days. But you should never compare yourself to anyone else as your journey is specific to you."
