The reality TV star shared the happy news with The Mirror at the National Television Awards held at the O2 Arena on Thursday.

The Blackpool local said that he is “overwhelmed” by becoming a father for the first time and that his little boy is a “cool lad.”

The Channel 4 personality said: “It’s a bit overwhelming, got it all going on at the moment!”

“He’s cool little lad, takes after his mum not me!”

“I’ve been up all night, I slept on the train here – got suitcases under my eyes, you just got me at a good time now.”

Gogglebox fans have been eagerly awaiting updates of when Pete will welcome the new addition to the Sandiford family ever since he revealed the pregnancy during a season 17 episode.

The TV star shared the news that his fiancée Paige was pregnant on an episode of Gogglebox back in April – he did it by showing his sister Sophie the baby scan on his phone.

The Blackpool reality TV star had not long announced his engagement and his sister replied: “Crazy. Life’s coming at you fast,”
