McFly frontman Tom Fletcher is expecting his first child! The singer and guitarist announced the good news through a video uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday, 29 October. The Halloween-themed video featured Tom and his wife, Giavanna Falcone, carving out four pumpkins, before turning off the lights and revealing they have cut out the words "we're having a baby."

Fletcher tweeted the video to his followers, writing, "Me and @mrsgifletcher have some rather exciting news to share with you."

He later added, "If the little Fletcher thinks I'm sharing my toys he's/she's got another thing coming!" - and his initial video and tweet caused much celebration in the online realms. He prompted congratulations from fans and well wishers, and also got a congratulatory tweet from his McFly bandmates Danny Jones and Harry Judd.

Tom is the first of the McFly boys to become a father and Giovanna's pregnancy comes just over a year after they were married. The 28-year-old got engaged to Falcone in April 2011 after years of dating, having been friends since Tom was 13, eventually tying the knot on 12 May, 2012. Giovanna, incidentally, is the sister of The Only Way Is Essex star Mario Falcone. The pair currently live in North London, with their three cats Marvin, Leia and Aurora.

McFly formed in 2003 and have gone on to release five studio albums, selling more than 10 million records worldwide. Last Christmas, he and bandmate Dougie Poynter released their first children's book The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas. The story is about a boy who gets a pet dinosaur for Christmas and was released to immediate success on 25 October 2012.

Congratulations guys!
