Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online at tonight's National Television Awards, Jack said: “I’m loving fatherhood. But not nappy changing - it stinks. I can’t stop staring at her though she’s beautiful.
"I kept the pregnancy a secret so her mum could have a peaceful pregnancy and she did."
And he added that his Love Island co-stars have been very supportive of his baby joy.
"Everyone from Love Island has been in touch to wish me well and it made me cry,” said Jack.
Over the weekend he shared the adorable first video of Blossom, joking that she has his hairstyle.
Posting a series of videos on Instagram, the besotted lad was seen marvelling over baby Blossom's tiny hands and full head of hair.

Then, flicking his floppy hair, he added with a smile: "Just like her dad."
Jack also said Blossom had been crying before having her bottle - and teased his brother Oliver about "making a cousin" for her.
Posting a video of Oliver and his girlfriend sitting on the sofa with the child, he joked: "They're getting in the mood for when it's their turn."

He posted a shot of his bro cradling the newborn, saying: "The award for world's best uncle, so far this year, goes to this guy. Proud uncle."

"It didn’t work out romantically for us, however as I’ve said previously we are still great friends and have been for around 10 years.
"Casey has been amazing throughout this whole process and I couldn’t of asked for a better person to co-parent our beautiful daughter Blossom with."
