TOWIE's Harry Derbidge and fiance Dean Rowland discuss their plans to adopt a child

As part of Loose Women's Fertility Week, former The Only Way is Essex star Harry Derbidge and his fiancé, Dean Rowland, shared details of their plans to adopt a child.

"We've just started our adoption process. We're currently at stage one ... our background checks, making sure we're fit and well enough to provide for a child to come in our lives," Harry told the Loose Women.

"The next part is stage two - when you meet with the social workers and start training to mentally prepare yourself for a child to come in your life," he added.

The couple told the panel why they've decided not to have a child with a surrogate, and revealed details of their plans for their upcoming wedding.

"We're going for it," Harry said. "Demi Sims and Amy Childs are our maids of honour and we’ve got eight bridesmaids!"

Harry also explained that his cousin, Amy, was planning to dress to impress on his big day.

"I said she can wear something white and sexy but not a big old wedding dress. She thinks she’s going to wear a wedding dress!" he laughed.
