Congratulations are in order for Jack Whitehall, as he’s about to become a dad!
The comedian, 34 is expecting his first child with model girlfriend Roxy Horner, 31.
He announced their happy news with a typically hilarious post (we’d expect nothing less).
Jack wrote to his followers: ‘And I thought I wasn’t getting enough attention when the dog arrived… 🎉🍾👶🏻’
The photos he shared, though, could not have been sweeter, as he and Roxy wore the most beaming smiles.
Showing off their ultrasound scans in two black-and-white images, Jack cosied up to his other half, who placed a loving hand on her belly.

Roxy shared the announcement to her own Instagram page with the caption: ‘The best news to share… 🤍’
Helen Flanagan commented: ‘Omg so happy for you guys 💗✨’
‘Omg so excited for you xxx’, wrote Georgia Harrison.
Writing on Twitter later on, Jack poked fun at himself with the tweet: ‘Should probably finally learn to drive now. #Adulting #DadLevel’.

Jack and Roxy were first linked at the start of 2020.
Taking the next step, they moved in together that March during the first lockdown.
Their romance has only gone from strength to strength since, with Roxy particularly praising Jack for how he’s been there for her during her health struggles.
Roxy – who has type 1 diabetes – previously told The Sun: ‘Jack’s been my absolute rock, he’s so lovely.
‘He was there when I got diagnosed. My parents and my family live in Australia, so he has been my family. We’re amazing.’

She’s also provided him with plenty of material for his stand-up shows, although has been known to scold him for joking about their shared poodle.
‘Yeah, I mean, she’s ok with it,’ Jack told The One Show recently, when asked if Roxy was ok with him making jokes about her.
‘It’s been a process,’ he admitted.

‘She’s had to acclimatise to the fact that I talk about her on stage.’
After one show, though, she gave him a ‘slap on the wrist’ for making ‘sordid’ jokes about their ‘beautiful’ pooch.
