The excited pair released a statement saying they were ‘delighted’ by the happy news.

'We were thrilled and delighted to be able to tell Alastair that he was going to be the big brother to a little baby, expected just before Mummy's 40th birthday,' Penny Lancaster said yesterday.

And friends reveal the couple – who were holidaying in Italy when they broke the news to friends and family – can’t contain their excitement. 

'They are over the moon, they have wanted this for so long,' one source said.

'Even though Rod has got his bus pass, you would not realise that he is the age he is. He definitely wears it well and says that he still feels young.'
