Robbie Williams is to become a father, he has confirmed.
The Take That star announced the news on his official blog today.
He wrote: "I've been keeping a secret from you all... Me and Ayda are going to be mummy and daddy this year. We had sex! It works!"
He added: "We've seen scans and cried... Looked at babies in commercials and teared up. The nursery is already planned. Basically I'm in love with a little person growing in mummy's belly and can't wait to be a daddy... Crying now. Much love much joy. Roberto, mum and little bump. XXXXXX."

The price has dropped again since the last time it was up for sale when the asking price was $29m. This is way down on the $38m which it was sold for back in 2008.
It features the luxury of an outside pool, a guest house and even a lift.
Among the things sold were a chalkboard which Michael's children had written "I love daddy" on and an armoire upon which MJ himself scrawled a message.
Is this where Robbie and Ayda are planning to raise their baby?
