A source close to the Scottish star said tonight: “It’s wonderful news.”

The dad-to-be can’t wait to welcome his first child later this year, the source added.

The couple are said to be “absolutely delighted” as they look forward to the tot’s arrival.

It comes less than two years after they tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in Glasgow.

Tonight a source close to the pair said: “They are absolutely delighted and are both looking forward to parenthood.

“It’s wonderful news. They have shared it amongst close friends and family but are keeping it all very private.”

Kevin and Kerry were married at St Peter’s Church in Partick in August 2019.

The loved-up pair enjoyed a reception with family and friends at The Cruin on the banks of Loch Lomond.

And last year Bridges — whose routines include one where he dubs a pal “Hoose Rice” after learning his family boil their own side dish with Chinese takeaways — told of his relief after Nicola Sturgeon pledged £15million to help ailing comedy clubs.

A spokesman for Bridges said last night: “We can confirm Kevin and Kerry are expecting a child this year.”
