But yesterday Ange must have been given some time off because Brad wasn’t the only one taking their four eldest children to see an afternoon performance of Mary Poppins on Broadway.

8-year-old Maddox strolled into the theatre ahead of his parents, while Ange followed carrying 3-year-old Shiloh and clutching 6-year-old Pax’s hand.

Brad and his big ugly beard were just a few steps behind with Zahara, who turns five this week. In fact come to think of it perhaps the theatre trip was an early birthday present for the tiny tot.
