McFly's Tom Fletcher has become a dad.

The singer and his wife Giovanna Fletcher have become the proud parents of a baby boy.

The musician revealed the news on Twitter today (March 14), saying:

"Sorry for my twitter silence over the last 24hrs, I’ve been far too busy cuddling my son… :) Yep, @MrsGiFletcher gave birth to our insanely gorgeous son yesterday at 7pm. He is healthy, beautiful and I’ve already changed his nappy."

Giovanna said: "THRILLED to announce the safe arrival of our little BOY! Born last night at 7pm. I can’t stop staring at and kissing him! I’m in love! Xxx."

Fletcher meanwhile won't have too long to spend with his new kid before he has to embark on McBusted's maiden UK tour, which starts in Glasgow on April 17.
