JACK Fincham has today shocked fans by announcing he has become a dad - nine months after splitting with his ex Dani Dyer.
The Love Island star, 28, took to Instagram to share the news he has a newborn daughter called Blossom, sending his followers into meltdown.
He said: "I’m normally a very open book and share most of my life on my social media.
"This blessing I chose not to. I’m just a normal geeza, who went on a tv show, which throws you straight into the public eye...which I will forever be grateful for.
"However I knew for myself I needed personal time and to keep this part of my life private to prepare for this new responsibility and part of me that will change my life forever.
"This is undoubtedly the best thing that has ever happened to me and it’s true what they say, the instant feeling of love and connection you have with your child is a feeling like no other. I want to thank my family and friends for your continued support, also to my little girls mother, who has been totally AMAZING throughout.
Jack is now settling into life as a dad"Although we are not together we are great friends as we have been for many years and our priority is co-parenting our beautiful baby girl. Both mum and baby are doing great. I am now a proud dad to a healthy baby girl Blossom Fincham born 8lb 2oz on 24th January 2020."
Jack fans couldn't contain their excitement at this news, one said: "you mean jack fincham from love island is a DAD where did this come from??"
This one commented: "jack fincham has a child? when did this happen."
While another said: "Jack fincham is a dad?! Omg what."
It is not yet known who the mother of Jack's adorable tot is, and as he states in the post, they are just "great friends".
The reality star is believed to be currently single, however his love life has hit the headlines many times since his rise to fame.
He shot into the spotlight when he won Love Island 2018 with former girlfriend Dani Dyer.
The pair officially announced they had split nine months ago, in April 2019.
The former couple had a very on/off romance and first called time on their romance in December 2018, before patching things up.
They were hugely popular on Love Island and scooped the £50K jackpot after winning the hearts of the nation.
But since their break-up Dani has gone on to find love elsewhere with Sammy Kimmence.
Reacting to Jack's shock news, Dani revealed she only found out he was having a baby when he revealed the birth today.
Appearing on pal Rylan Clark-Neal's BBC Radio Two show, Dani was asked if she wished her ex well. She replied: "100 per cent, congratulations. Everyone loves a baby."
Quizzed on whether Jack had told her in advance, Dani said: "No, of course not! No news.
"When everyone else found out, I found out.
"Listen, I wish them all the best. Congratulations."
