Take That’s Howard Donald announces the birth of his fourth child
The proud father revealed the unique full name of his newest addition
TAKE That star Howard Donald has announced the birth of the newest addition to his family.
The 48-year-old star revealed the name of his newborn in a sweet Twitter post as he wrote: "Hello Dougie Bear Donald!"
He continued: "He's here and he's beautiful! He arrived yesterday morning and we are over the Pluto. X"
This is the singer's second child with his wife Katie as they are already parents to one-year-old Bowie Taylan.
Dougie's birth meant that the Take That star was forced to missed the gala night of his bandmate Gary Barlow's musical The Girls on Monday evening.
It was revealed that the star's wife had gone into labour on the night and now the newborn arrival has thrown Howard’s appearance on the Let It Shine final this weekend into doubt.
Howard revealed he was going to become a dad again in October – just ten months after he and Katie welcomed Bowie.
He shared the exciting news by tweeting that he would be having even more sleepless nights come February.
The singer tweeted: “Guess what? Me and Katie are happy to announce we will have our 2nd child in Feb. Yay! No more sleep for another 2 years.”
Howard also has two daughters Grace and Lola from past relationships.
