Marvin and Rochelle Humes are celebrating their first Christmas as a family of five this year.

The couple, who are already parents to daughters Alaia-Mai and Valentina, welcomed their baby son Blake in October.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Marvin said their Christmas was going to be different this year.

"We're going to go on holiday which is a first for us being away at Christmas but we're really looking forward to it," he said. "It's been a tough year."

But despite being away this year, Marvin revealed there is one tradition they'll still be able to do.

"We're taking the Monopoly board with us, that's definitely a Christmas tradition.

"Rochelle does take it quite seriously so that makes our husband and wife relationship go out the window when we play Monopoly. I'm trying to teach my 7-year-old how to play, because she always wants to get involved."

"All the other Christmas traditions [are] just the usual stuff, presents, food, fun," he said.

Marvin also discussed his Christmas traditions with his JLS bandmates.

"The JLS family has massively increased over the years, there's 18 of us now so we don't buy presents for the adults anymore, just the kids," he said.

"It's nice to see all the kids playing together. We all look at each other and go, 'how did this happen, we were in a band 10 years ago touring the world, just the four of us' and now we all have these beautiful families.

"The boys and I are all so close, we really are family."

JLS' tour has been moved to 2021. For tickets, visit Ticketmaster.
