Evans becomes father for second time

Chris Evans and wife Natasha Shishmanian have had their first child together.

The couple welcomed baby boy Noah earlier today. Evans has posted pictures of mother and baby on Radio 2's website.

"I know everyone says that about their own but he really is a bit special," said the DJ. "Since 8.21am, Noah has increased his age by four times, how cool is that? I would also like to point out that he, so far, is the only one of the three of us not to have cried!"

Speaking about the birth, Evans said: "Tash was admitted into hospital last night, or at least checked into her room and then immediately declared that we go out for one last pre-Noah meal even though she happened to be in labour at the time.

"We went to the great Giorgio Locatelli's place, he of the annual Children In Need Dine And Disco. When we told his front of house girls, all Italian, that Tash was actually almost having a baby, they loved it. I'm sure they were willing her to have it there and then.

"We laughed all the way through our dinner, what a way to kill the pain and suspense of labour - highly recommended. We arrived back at the hospital around eleven, both had a couple of hours kip and then the big boy contractions kicked in and at 8.21am on the 10th of the 2nd 2009 out popped Noah."

Evans has 22-year-old daughter Jade from a former relationship.
