Ian ‘H’ Watkins of pop group Steps is looking forward to becoming a father. 

Ian revealed that he and long-term partner, Craig Ryder, are planning on having a baby though a surrogate.

He said in an interview: “Yes, we are planning to have a baby! We've always wanted to have a family and now we are halfway through our surrogacy process."

“We think we have found our egg donor, and we're hoping to confirm the lady who will be carrying our baby soon.”

Craig said, "We love each other and we want to nurture a child in the world" and added that their friends and family were 100 percent behind their decision.
