Celebrity hairdresser to become a dad again at the age of 58

He's always seemed a youthful spirit

He might be two years shy of 60, but celebrity hairdresser Nicky Clarke has proved that his manly equipment is still in fine working order.

No we haven’t been standing next to him in gents’ loo!

The long-haired larrikin has announced that he is to be a father once again.

The sassy stylist-to-the-stars has told Hello! magazine that he and his girlfriend Kelly Simpkin, 35, are expecting their first child together.

This will be his third child, as he is already dad to Harrison, 30, and Tellisa, 28, from a previous relationship.

As a dab hand at this fatherhood lark, the chipper snipper told the classy mag that his previous experience of being a father will come in very handy indeed.

“I’m quite laid back,” he confided. “Obviously, a routine is important but we always took my kids to, say, restaurants.

“We didn’t let a routine spoil our family life.”

However, fashion designer Simpkin said of being preggers for the first time: “It doesn’t seem real. We’re very happy.

“Nicky will be a cool dad. He’s so thoughtful.

“He’s into his fashion. I can’t wait for us to start buying baby outfits.”

The couple have been together for nine years and are planning to get hitched very soon.

“We’ve agreed to get married and, when we do, there’ll probably be quite a boho, relaxed, 1970s vibe to the wedding,” Kelly said.

“Like most girls, it’s something I’ve dreamt of since I was five.

“It’s a big thing for me and, now that I can design my own dress, the world’s my oyster.”
