"My dad was the best dad in the world and I also have an incredible step dad, I wish my dad was about to see how I will be a role model to this baby.
"Fred's super excited as well. 2021 is going to be the biggest test yet, but I'm so excited for it!"
Speaking to HELLO!, the Dancing On Ice star, 32, explained the one part of parenthood he's not looking forward to is changing nappies, revealing: "I'm excited for everything, apart from the nappies. I'm not sure I will ever get used to that."

Meanwhile, the couple also opened up on the heartache of suffering a miscarriage last year.
Sophie explained: "Even though I was only six weeks pregnant it really hit me hard. With this pregnancy we still carry that worry, so it was nice to have the scan and know that everything is okay.
"We had been trying for a year and a half and I was doing ovulation tests and everything and Jake said: 'Stop putting pressure on us, it will happen when it's meant to happen.' But when you really want something it's so hard to not feel disappointed every month."
Sophie, 27, who already has six-year-old son, Freddie, also took to social media to announce their happy news yesterday.
