Wow! It looks like Shayne Ward and his former Hollyoaks girlfriend Sophie Austin have decided to snub offers from glossy mags to show off their gorgeous baby daughter Willow.
Instead of unveiling their new bundle of joy in the glossy pages of OK! or Hello!, they have decided to present their daughter to the world via social media.
This week, Sophie posted a picture on Instagram of her gorgeous man Shayne cradling his two-and-a-half-month-old daughter in his manly arms alongside the caption: ‘Daddy’s girl’.

In the pic, Shayne, sadly, isn’t shirtless and showing off his impressive physique.
But to see the shaved headed butch beefcake tenderly kissing her baby girl’s bonce is enough to make us all have a baby twinge.
Willow was born back in December, when Shayne posted his message: “Proud to share our incredible news. Me and Sophie had a beautiful baby girl. We are completely besotted and in love with the deepest of hearts. Our world Willow May Ward.”
And it seems that the Corrie star has taken to fatherhood as easily as it was for him to take to acting on the cobbles.
When he appeared in a Skype clip on The Xtra Factor just before Christmas, he said he had thrown himself into being a dad.
“I’m really good. This is my little girl, this is Willow May,” he said. “I just came back from a dinner and I have to be on daddy duty. She’s great, she’s very content so I’m very happy.”
While we’re impressed that Shayne and Sophie have resisted the urge to take shedloads of money to showcase their flesh and blood, we can’t help but notice that they’ve been clever about showing off their baby.
Each time they have pictured Willow, they have made sure her full face hasn’t been seen. Which means, those glossy mags still get to reveal the freshly born nipper in all her glory if they so desire.
