A Plymouth medical company which operates the UKs largest human tissue bank has revealed several celebrity influencers who have banked their babys cord blood in the hope that the stem cells they contain may treat or even cure a range of diseases in the future.
Biovault Family, who are based at the International Medical and Technology Park in Derriford, have revealed that 2014 Strictly Come Dancing winner Ore Oduba and his wife Portia banked the cord blood from their new baby Genie in October last year. The celebrity couple have followed TV presenter and model Louise Roe and husband Mackenzie Hunkin in choosing to bank their babys Ins cord blood.
And in 2020, Ricky Martin winner of The Apprentice in 2012 and his wife Gemma used Biovault Family for the second time, after the birth of their baby daughter. Stem cells left in a babys umbilical cord blood after the birth are especially powerful, able to regenerate every kind of damaged blood cell.

So far cord blood stem cells are being used to treat more than 80 diseases including cancers like leukaemia and lymphoma, inherited immune system and immune-cell disorders, sickle cell disease and anaemia, and Gaucher disease. But they can also help treat other immune, blood and neurological disorders. The company say that stem cells are held safe for as long as 50 years, and can be banked from 695.
Ore Oduba and his wife Portia decided to bank the cord blood of their second baby and said it was a no-brainer. Portia said: For us as a family it was the right decision. If the unthinkable was ever to happen and we could save or help our children and other family members with stem cells, why wouldnt we? Because these cells can treat over 80 diseases it was a no brainer for us. We just hope more families look into this whilst pregnant. Biovault is a brilliant company, run with compassion and heart at the forefront of everything they do. They just want to help expectant parents in any way they can.
Louise Roe, also a fashion journalist, said it was an important act for them as a family. Louise said: Stem cells have the ability to be life-changing and life-saving, with more and more discoveries being made each year, this was a very important thing for us to do as a family.
We decided to bank our newborn daughters stem cells using Biovault, after having a long chat with them over the phone. Theyre the only place in the UK that has their own storage facility and an insurance policy that means if anything happens to the company, our babys cells will still be looked after for 50 years. The diseases this can help treat and cure are very wide-spanning, and the list is growing. I do feel a huge sense of security knowing we have invested in our babys health and future.
Ricky Martin said: My family and I decided to bank our newborn daughters stem cells using Biovault. All it took was a detailed phone call and we were convinced. As the only place in the UK offering Escrow protection, our babys cells will be kept safe for 50 years whatever happens to the company. It felt like the perfect solution and its great to know the cells weve saved might one day save a family members life.
