Kelly Macdonald gives birth to son

Trainspotting actress Kelly Macdonald has given birth to her first child.

Husband Dougie Payne, bassist with the band Travis, announced on his website that the couple had welcomed son Freddie on March 9.

The new arrival weighed in at 8lb 11oz and is said to be "thriving".

Payne, 35, wrote on his blog: "It is with huge delight and enormous soppy grins that we can tell you we have a wee boy. He is blond, blue-eyed, bouncing and beautiful.

"Dad's mind is blown in the best way possible. Fill your glasses with something fizzy! Love and joy."

The pair, originally from Glasgow, married in August 2003.

Macdonald was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at this year's BAFTAs for her role in No Country For Old Men.
