Thrilled to finally become a father, the 39-year-old had recently admitted he was counting down the days to Layla's arrival.

He said: "I am going to be at the birth and it'll be so lovely to finally meet her after all the research we have done to get to where we are now.

"I started the process at least three-and-a-half years ago and it has been daunting at times. But I have wanted to do this for a very long time and it will be worth the wait.

"We had to look outside the UK, to California. The laws there are probably the most progressive in the world as well as the most same-sex-friendly.

"I found the clinic and the doctor, then I met the egg donor and the surrogate mother, who I now know quite well. It is exciting that she is carrying my child and going through the surrogacy. IVF has been an amazing experience, if lengthy."
