With his mouth open wide, poor Tom is clueless to being filmed, or indeed the party going on around him!
Mario joked: “Fatherhood means this really big, nasty thing, where you get really tired, apparently, so people keep telling me, but here’s a prime example of that.”
Mario and his fiance Becky are expecting their first baby late summer, and have no doubt been seeking advice from Tom and his wife Giovanna Fletcher (Mario’s sister) who are also due their third child in September.
Mario and Becky have decided to keep the sex of their baby as a surprise, but after posting a picture of their scan on Instagram, fans used the popular ‘nub theory’ to predict the couple are expecting a girl!
Childhood sweethearts Tom and Giovanna are already proud mum and dad to two boys – Buddy, four, and two-year-old Buzz – and have also chosen not to find out the sex of their latest family addition.
While he awaits to become a dad himself, Mario is also a very hands-on uncle, and regularly babysits his two nephews.
Luckily for him, his mentor in fatherhood, sleepy Tom, has previously revealed he and Giovanna’s secret to success is to stress less.
He told Hello! magazine: “Giovanna and I are both very relaxed, and try not to take anything too seriously. Also good food. If the Fletchers are fed, the Fletchers are happy!”

And although Mario admitted the positive pregnancy test had been ‘a shock’ after the couple had tried to conceive last year and had fallen pregnant when they had stopped trying, the former TOWIE star says he can’t wait to be dad.
“It’s been my dream to be a dad for a long time now, so I’m over the moon,” he said.
We’re pretty sure you’ll make an awesome dad Mario – Tom will see to that!
