BRITAIN'S first gay dad who has had a child with his daughter's ex-boyfriend has revealed he celebrated the birth with £50k worth of baby clothes and is ALREADY planning on having twins.

Last month, the couple announced the birth of their first child together - Valentina Willow Drewitt-Barlow - via a surrogate mother.
Multimillionaire Barrie paid £77,000 for the surrogate to give birth to Valentina in the US.
He told the : "Every parent thinks their baby is the best-looking baby in the world, but the truth is Valentina Willow is the best-looking baby in the world.
"We couldn’t be happier with the way she looks. In all fairness, we expected nothing else. After all, we scoured the planet for the best-looking egg donor we could find and [£77,000] later we got the donor we wanted and the best-looking baby anyone could ever want."

When they met their daughter for the first time, Barrie and Scott brought £50k worth of baby clothes in a Louis Vuitton bag to the hospital.
But as Valentina was born a month prematurely, Scott had to rush to the nearest store to find smaller clothes to fit her 5lb frame.
Describing the moment his daughter met her little sister for the first time, Barrie said: "It was strange when Saffron first met Valentina. It crossed my mind that this could have been her baby with Scott and my grandchild.
"It was just not the right connection between her and Scott. They were always better as friends than trying to date. She has been amazing – she is now my queen and Valentina is our princess."

Barrie and Scott are planning to marry next summer after the divorce with Tony is finalised.
What's more, the couple said they're already looking into a surrogate for twins as they originally wanted triplets.
Barrie and his ex-husband Tony were the first gay men in the UK to father children through surrogacy and now live in Florida with their children.
The two men have a combined wealth of £40million from various business ventures, including a global medical research company.

Now, more than 20 years later, Barrie has split from Tony and hooked up with their adult daughter Saffron's ex-boyfriend Scott Hutchinson.
But despite their split, Tony still lives in the same £6m mansion as his husband and his new partner Scott - in what Barrie describes as a "very 21st Century family set-up".
The proud dad said Tony will be known as Valentina's "uncle and god-daddy".
