How many children does Peter Kay share with wide Susan Gargan?

Peter and Susan welcomed the arrival of first child, son Charlie, in 2001.

In 2011, Peter mentioned "children" - suggesting plural - in an interview.

He said: "I'm actually shy and my salvation is coming home and being normal. My children are still young and I want to be at home with them."
