Shayne Ward has revealed that he "can't wait" to have children with his girlfriend Faye McKeever.

The Obsession singer spent time with patients at Great Ormond Street Hospital and told the Daily Star that the experience was eye-opening.

"Stepping into the hospital is hard," he said. "But I know I can bring some smiles and laughter. Great Ormond Street is a magical place filled with happiness, despite treating some of the most rare, life-threatening illnesses for young children.

"Coming here really opens your eyes and shows you there is more to life than being a celebrity."

The paper reports that as the emotional 26-year-old held 16-week-old Tyler Smith - who was diagnosed with a rare bladder disorder when he was 2 days old - he said: "Children are so precious. I can't wait to be a dad one day."
