Liverpool football player Alex, who is also the same age, captioned his post: "Anyone got any advice on how to change nappies? So grateful and excited to become a dad. Bring on the sleepless nights."

The baby joy comes as Perrie's bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock is also due to welcome her first child with fiancé Andre Gray.

Just months prior to the arrival, Perrie and Leigh-Anne shared their surprise when they heard they were pregnant at the same time. In a TikTok video the blonde beauty revealed they "cried our eyes out" upon discovering the news.

She added: "We were on a work Zoom and we were chatting about things that were coming up in our schedule because in Little Mix we are blocked out two years in advance...

"I was thinking, 'I won't be able to do that.' I messaged my manager and she called me and said, 'You're pregnant…' 'Then she said: 'Can I add someone to the call?' "I just heard this voice that said: 'Perrie! You too!' And then we just cried our eyes out. What timing!"
