He took to his latest magazine column to gush over his teenagers as they posed for a family photo at an event.

"I had to explain to them, I hadn't edited it in any way. I almost had to convince them they just look amazing and are naturally beautiful."

He added: "I could never say photos shouldn't be touched up... but it's good for people to believe they look great the way they are."
