Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall has become a father for the first time.

Gabriella Wesberry, the 'Fairground' star's long-term partner, gave birth to a baby girl at London's Portland Hospital on Monday.

The couple, who have been together since 2003, named their daughter Romy True.

An announcement on Simply Red's website said: "Mother and baby are doing fine and Mick is on cloud nine!"
