Johnny Vegas welcomes new baby with brilliant first photo
It's a boy Johnny Vegas and his TV presenter wife Maia Dunphy!
Irish broadcaster Maia welcomed her new arrival four days ago, but took some time to adjust to life as a new mum before revealing the happy news on social media… and posting a brilliant photo update.
Our new man has his Dad's habits already. Tom Laurence arrived last Friday, at a civilised hour after lunch. 7lbs2. pic.twitter.com/lHKIX4sYSU

"Our new man has his Dad's habits already," she wrote, sharing a photo of a pair of baby Converse booties next to two adult pairs. "Tom Laurence arrived last Friday, at a civilised hour after lunch. 7lbs2."
Johnny also celebrated the news on Twitter with a few trademark jokes, saying, "He's got his Mother's eyes & my taste in footwear" and referring to his newborn son as "7lb 2 ounces of nonstop pooing."
Journalist Maia also revealed she wouldn't be welcoming any "post baby-body" queries adding that anyone to mention the term would get "a slap." Good woman Maia.

We can't wait to see the first photo of little Tom.
