Brian Dowling's husband Arthur Gourounlian said he was "nearly crying" after the couple's daughter hit a major milestone.
Blake was born via surrogate last year and has brought the couple 'untold joy', however she's now teething - and isn't happy about it.
Taking to Instagram, the Dancing with the Stars judge, 42, said: "Oh my God I just put Blake to sleep and she broke my heart.
"She's been screaming since she had her dinner and I think there are four teeth, two here and two here, you can feel it and when I open you can see white dots. She is teething so much - do they scream and cry that much when they are teething? I feel like she was suffering and I don't know what to do.
"She doesn't cry, literally she does not cry anymore. Well, she only cries when she wants attention.

After deciding he wanted to become a parent with Arthur, Brian, 44, enlisted the help of his younger sister Aoife who carried the “beautiful little baby” from an unknown egg donor.
Praising his “phenomenal” sibling, the presenter shared a picture of Aoife cradling baby Blake, with the caption: “Today was REUNION TIME in the Dowling Gourounlian household.

“I still find it hard to believe that Aoife, Arthur and I created this BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BABY. Blake LOVES her Aunty Aoife so much and was so content in her arms.
“How SENSATIONAL does Aoife look especially only 5 days after giving birth.”
