Robbie Williams expecting first child: 'We've seen scans and cried'

Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field have confirmed that they are expecting their first child.

The Take That popstar announced the news on his official blog earlier today (March 30).

"Hey friendlies, I've been keeping a secret from you all," he wrote.

"Me and Ayda are going to be mummy and daddy this year! We had sex! It works!"

He continued: "We've seen scans and cried. Looked at babies in commercials and teared up. The nursery is already planned.

"Basically I'm in love with a little person growing in mummy's belly. And can't wait to be a daddy... crying now. Much love much joy, Roberto, mum and little bump."

Williams is thought to be working on a new solo album, which was expected to be released in the autumn.

He is also currently planning another Soccer Aid UNICEF fundraising event.
