Max, and their daughter Honor do not appear on the hit TV show.

Steph told Deborah Ross in the Times Magazine that they noticed Max had these 'little jerky movements'.

She said: 'We took a video of him and showed it to the GP, who immediately referred us to the paediatric consultant at the local hospital who said, "I think we have a problem and I need you to come in first thing Monday morning. Bring a bag".'

The youngster also has autism and spends term time in a special residential school.

Steph said that Max's condition has had a profound effect on their lives and has made them better people, even though they do try to enjoy themselves.

'We drink socially to enjoy ourselves, but when the kids are at home, it is family time. They are the most important people to us in the world.'

Earlier this year, the couple, known as the 'posh ones', spoke about how they were kicked out of a BBC green room for being drunk.

The pair, who could be seen drinking Bloody Marys on The One Show sofa, admitted to enjoying a little too much of the BBC's free alcohol supply, and were asked to leave by security.

Steph and Dom have won a cult following for being plummy, outspoken and never without a drink on the Channel 4 show, in which the reactions of families are filmed as they watch TV together in their homes.

However, it appears the security at the BBC were not quite as taken with the couple's drinking habits.

'We overdid it a bit because we were excited.' Steph, who, along with her husband, has become famous for enjoying a drink while appearing on Gogglebox. told The Sun

'We just opened the fridge in the green room and went, "Hello, why should we go anywhere else? It's all here!"

'But then the security man came in and asked us to leave.'

The couple have an exclusive B&B in Kent.
