Who is Miles' wife and how many children does he have?
Miles is married to a woman called Rachel, whom he met while studying in Edinburgh.
The couple raise their five children in Monmouthshire, Wales, after moving there from their home in Peckham, South London.
Miles has previously admitted his family miss living in London.
He said: "The children are at a really nice school now but we do find ourselves missing Peckham. It was really mixed and fun, just some really interesting parents at the school.
"As indeed there are where we are now… But it was much more mixed. That was really good for the children, to have a less cosseted upbringing than I did.”
