The dad-of-two went on to reveal that his wife, who previously was a Cbeebies presenter, went into labour earlier than expected. He explained: "Thank you so much to Dr Flood who came in especially to take care of a tricky and early procedure because the little guy didn’t want to wait any longer (I was stuck i in London with cancelled trains but made it back late that night).

He added: "Would also like to thank all the staff at @nhs_lincoln_maternity who couldn’t have been more brilliant and we can’t recommend highly enough. So...... World meet Indy

"Indy meet World. 💙💙💙💙 "

Lots of followers rushed to congratulate the happy couple, with one person writing: "Congrats to you and SJ - now neither of you can have a break 🤣💞 "

Someone else said: "Congrats to you all wishing you all happiness and good health x"

Another commented: "Fantastic news!! Many congratulations to you and your family xx"

A fourth wrote: "Awwh congratulations Ayden to you and your family 💙 "

One more added: Congrats buddy!!! I hope they are both doing well! Sending lots of love to you all x"

The TV stars are already parents to two-year-old Phoenix and although they haven't yet revealed their little ones name it's most likely going to be a meaningful moniker.

Back in 2012 the pair suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage and when Ayden's onscreen wife Mercedes McQueen had a stillbirth on the show, he asked to be removed from the storyline.
