Steve Brown, Becca & Baby Lyra: A Future They Fought For

TV presenter and former wheelchair rugby captain Steve Brown credits his spinal cord injury for opening unexpected doors, from elite sport to mainstream television on Countryfile and Escape to the Country. But nothing tested him and his wife Becca like their IVF journey.

In this intimate episode, they share the emotional highs and lows of trying to become parents — a path filled with uncertainty, hope and perseverance. Their story leads to the arrival of baby Lyra, the little girl they once feared might never be possible.

An honest conversation about love, resilience and the family they fought so hard to build, featuring gorgeous baby Lyra!
