RYLAN Clark-Neal appeared extremely broody on This Morning today when he met baby Alex who was born deaf.
The 29-year-old, who lives with his husband Dan Neal, cuddled the adorable tot as he interviewed Alex's mum Jen with co-host Gok Wan.
Midway through the chat, Rylan asked to hold Alex - and the star looked every inch a doting dad.
At the end of the interview, he asked Jen "can we keep him" as he held the baby who looked very content in his arms.
Viewers were left in bits over the segment after they watched the moment Alex heard his mum's voice with the help of a hearing aid.
And they rushed to tell Rylan that he is a natural with babies, with one tweeting: "@Rylan you both are a natural with baby Alex."
Referring to Rylan and Gok's new nickname, another fan said: "ROK be broody!"
The married star has previously revealed he wants to expand his family.
Rylan is proud stepdad to Dan's teenage son Cameron who he loves being able to switch between being a dad to and his best mate.
But despite treating Cameron like his own flesh and blood, Rylan has previously admitted to being broody.
Although, he does admit now is not the right time.
He says: "We've got Cameron and at this point in time it's just not the right thing for us. We're lucky to be so busy.
"It's all about timing, especially at this time in my work when things might be changing with new ventures.
"I feel like I need to put my head more into that, but I'm definitely not ruling out.
