Fans were quick to tell Aston they understood EXACTLY how he is feeling, with one saying: “Hurry up Baby Merrygold but it’s worth the wait tho. I couldn’t wait for mine to be born now he’s one year old (sic).”

A second quipped: “May as well sleep now because once baby arrives there isn’t going to be much sleep!”

Other fans jokingly poked fun at Aston’s own timekeeping skills, with one laughing: “It’s definitely your baby if it’s not on time.”

The pair previously said they wouldn’t be finding out the sex of their baby.

Announcing the pregnancy in September, Aston told fans: “On May 29th 2017 we found out that our lives were going to change forever! This secret has been so hard to keep, but I’m so excited to finally be able to share the news with everybody that me and my beautiful lady are going to be parents!

“I’m NEVER speechless but words can’t describe how I feel. All I know is there’s no feeling like it! Sarah, I promise to be the best daddy ever to our baby boy/girl.
