The ex-England player has three children, from his marriage to Rebecca Ellison, who died five years ago.

Taking to Instagram, Kate said: "This crazy house is about to get a little bit crazier... every time I watch this it makes me cry, the best reaction... Baby Ferdy we are all so excited to meet you."

The couple filmed themselves telling kids, Lorenz, 13, Tate, 11, and Tia, nine, the news, with the trio jumping up with joy and the family embracing in a group hug.

They posted the video on Instagram for all their fans and well-wishers to see.
