When they were teenagers, Cheryl Holden and Michael Fernandes made a child between them. Nothing strange in that you might say. However, the Daily Mail reported that the baby was born 9 years ago when Cheryl was aged 15 and Michael only 13. Still together, the couple have defied the odds. Cheryl left school to look after the child, while Michael stayed on to study for his GCSEs. She is a full-time mother and he a landscape gardener.
