The gay singer – whose two-year-old twin sons Matteo and Valentino
were born via a surrogate mother – always wanted to have children and
has learned a lot from his kids – including the aspects of fatherhood
which he isn't keen on.

He explained: "I've always wanted to be a father. I knew it was
something I wanted in my life. One day, I typed ‘surrogacy' into the
computer and started researching. Now I have twin boys who are the loves
of my life.

"Every decision I make is based on my children. They teach me
different things every day, such as the beauty in simplicity. But I do
hate changing dirty nappies; it's not fun at all."

Ricky, 39, has also learned a great deal of life lessons from fatherhood, particularly about becoming more selfless.

He added to Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "Being a father,
you come to know yourself. You have no choice but to become less selfish
as it's not about you anymore. But you also have to feel good about
yourself in order to set a good example. Fatherhood has made me work on
myself."
