The happy couple announced they were expecting their first child together in January, by sharing an ultrasound snap of their baby balancing a pint of beer on its belly.

And proud father Johnny took to Twitter yesterday to confirm his wife had given birth to a healthy baby boy.

Sharing an adorable snap the baby’s tiny Converse shoes alongside his own and Maia’s, the Benidorm star wrote:

"He's got his mother's eyes & my taste in footwear.Tom Laurence, born last Friday, 7lb 2 ounces of nonstop pooing ;)"

And it looks as though the little one has given his parents a busy first night, with Johnny tweeting at 1am:

"As an insomniac with new baby who can't lactate, I feel I can finally empathise with Wham's Andrew Ridgeley. Keen to do my bit but…”.

The 44 year old star, who also has an 11 year old son from a previous marriage, took the time to thank the maternity team at his hospital, as well as telling fans:

"Overwhelmed by your lovely response to our new arrival Twitter, thanks so much everyone. Will do my best to read through all your messages x,”.

Congratulations guys!
