Dan added: 'Becoming a father has been the most amazing thing to ever happen to me. I can't believe I'm going to be dad again - I'm truly blessed.'

It was only on Thursday that the star was keen to move things along. The gorgeous star was spotted out yet another on a walk in north London, a known method to help bring on labour.
She opted for casual attire for her trek, wearing a cosy pair of maroon tracksuit bottoms and a zip-up hoodie which revealed her blossoming bump.
Jacqueline, who is on maternity leave from her role as Lauren Branning on EastEnders, covered up under another a chic furry-hooded beige coat and wore black ankle boots.
Getting to the end of her pregnancy, the good-natured star uploaded a selfie at the beginning of the month and encouraged her first tot to hurry up. She wrote on Instagram: 'Come on babyyyyyyy.'
And, although the parent-to-be looked rather cosy in her tracksuit and hoodie combination, she recently bemoaned her ongoing pregnancy and the effect it's having on her clothing choices.
Writing on Twitter she wrote: 'I cannot wait to sort my wardrobe out soon!! it's beyond a joke. #pregnancyproblems.'
