‘Player two!’ Tom and Giovanna Fletcher welcome second child

Three have become four in the Fletcher household: Tom and his wife Giovanna have welcomed their second child.

Giving birth earlier today, the McFly rocker tweeted confirmed the happy news on Twitter this afternoon with a simple: “Player 2 has entered the game.”

Just moments later, Giovanna herself took to social media to confirm the gender and name of their new arrival – a little boy named Buddy Bob.

"What a beautiful day to be born," she wrote alongside a picture of a blue sky.

The couple are already parents to a two-year-old son, Buzz, who features regularly in Tom's adorable father-and-son vlogs.

Over the last couple of years, the videos have earned the Fletcher family something of a cult following, and indeed the couple used a vlog to announce their pregnancy back in September. 

As referenced in Tom's tweet today, the original reveal showed the pair playing video games with little Buzz ("Player 1") and setting up their console for "Player 2."

The singer, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2010, recently explained that his outlook on life had changed over the last two years, largely thanks to becoming a dad.

"Having a kid has really helped me in my life. It gives you a sense of needing to be stable," he told The Mirror.

"It’s not about you any more, it’s about this child that you’ve decided to bring into the world. 

"You don’t have any choice but to cope with life because you’re doing it for someone else."

We cannot WAIT to see the first vlog starring both Buzz and his little brother.
