Congratulations are in order for Blue singer Lee Ryan, who has become a father for the fourth time after his wife Verity Paris gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in October.

Lee, who chose to keep his wife's pregnancy a secret, announced the couple's lovely news on TikTok, where he gave fans a glimpse of his new baby girl whilst explaining his absence during Blue's current promotional tour.

Holding his bundle of joy, Lee told fans: "Hey everyone. I just wanted to say sorry that I'm not there for the promo right now.

"Everything's ok. I know the boys are doing everything. I know there are a lot of people talking madness. I've actually had a little baby. She's only three weeks old now, so I'm at home with my family, being a dad and being with the children."

Although Lee didn't reveal the name of his daughter, the new arrival is his fourth child in total, and second with his wife Verity. The couple, who got married in March, welcomed their first child together in June last year, a healthy baby girl.

Lee is also a proud dad to daughter Bluebell with his ex Jessica Keevil, and son Rayn with his ex fiancé Samantha Miller.
