It took former England rugby star Ben Cohen three hours to recreate the popular Athena poster, due to his wriggling five-month-old daughter Isabelle who initially refused to play ball
But his wriggling, giggling, five-month-olds Isabelle and Harriett refused to play ball.
It took three hours to come up with the final shot of him holding Isabelle, who decided to co-operate for just long enough.
