Gary Barlow has sent a message of congratulations to new father Robbie Williams.

The 'Candy' singer revealed last night (September 18) that he is now the proud dad of Theodora Rose Williams - his first child.

He said in a statement: "Praise be, it's Theodora Rose Williams, affectionately known as Teddy...born 3.33pm on 18.9.12, 7lbs 4oz..."

Gary Barlow took to Twitter to congratulate his Take That bandmate and wife Ayda Field, tweeting:

"Massive congrats Rob and Ayda. So happy for you."

The news comes only six weeks after Barlow tragically announced that his fourth child Poppy was delivered stillborn.
