Howard first met illustrator Katie when the band filmed a Marks & Spencer advert for Christmas in 2008 – but it was two years before they started dating.

The singer has two daughters Grace, 16, from his previous relationship with Victoria Piddington and Lola, 10, from his previous relationship with Marie-Christine Musswessels.

On his Twitter page, Howard often posts selfies with strange objects balancing on his head – no, we don't know why. But the dad-to-be has promised a special baby edition of his popular posts in January…

Congratulations both!
