He told the publication: “I am a grandfather! My daughter and her husband Tom have had a baby boy who is coming up for five months old.”

When was Bradley Walsh’s grandson born?
He also revealed his top tip for being a brilliant grandfather.
He said: “When the baby grows into a toddler, make sure you spend plenty of time with them, feeding them ice cream and Coca-Cola, and then give them back at just the right time and say to your children, ‘There you are, that’s what you were like.'”
We’re sure Hayley will be delighted with that.
Hayley, who is a reflexologist, revealed she was pregnant earlier this year via Instagram.
She posted a photo of a sign saying she was now on maternity leave at the start of February.
But it looks like she’s already back at work after sharing a post which showed her back in her clinic in Hertfordshire.
