The 41-year-old, who is already a father to 10-year-old son, Jonti, announced the arrival on Facebook last week, writing: "Welcome to the new love of our lives into this world", alongside a pic of the little one's tiny feet.

The celebrity chef revealed that the couple were expecting their first child together in August last year.
