A COUPLE who were both brought up on council estates but are now millionaires have said that they are not ashamed of spoiling their kids and that "lazy parents" are just jealous of them. Barrie and Scott Drewitt-Barlow are parents to Valentia, 3 and Romeo 2. Businessman Barrie also has six more children from his previous marriage - Colin 35, twins Aspen and Saffron 25, Orlando 20 and Jasper and Dallas 15.
Back in 1999 Barrie and his ex Tony shot to fame after becoming the first same-sex couple to have babies via surrogacy. The duo then racked up an impressive £200 million from various business ventures including a trans-Atlantic surrogacy business, so have been able to spoil their children rotten from day one. In a recent video posted to Truly, Barrie and Scott shared an insight into their new mansion in the Essex countryside, which they have spent £9 million turning into their dream home, complete with an aquarium, stables and a swimming pool .
Barrie said: "We like to share what we have got with other people. "We are so used to it now and our kids are used to it. "I grew up on a council estate and so did Scott so every day we are like 'holy c**p' this is our house .
" He continued: "When you grow up on a council estate you just want to get out of it, so that's what we did. "I am a great believer in you get out of things what you put into them. Work hard, you earn a lot of money - what can I say.
" Barrie said that he loves his kids, and added that he thinks anyone would spo.
