‘A little England trial two years ago. I didn’t have a clue I was pregnant with Blainey… I thought it was jet lag that didn’t wear off for the three weeks,’ she wrote.

She added: ‘I can’t believe it’s coming up one year since the five of us moved here.’

George is part of the Burgess family of rugby league players who moved to Australia from the north of England. His brothers are Sam, 31, Tom, 28, and Luke, 33.
