Charlie and Anna announced a second child was on the way last summer.

They’re already parents to son Arlo, who was born in 2015.

Charlie broke the pregnancy news in an interview with Metro, saying: “I’ve just found out we’re having a second! I’m super-excited. We do know (the sex), but I want to keep it a secret. I haven’t actually told anyone she is pregnant yet!”

Charlie rose to fame with pop rock band Busted – which also featured Matt Willis and James Bourne – back in 2000, but chose to quit the group in 2005 to focus on his Fightstar project and solo material.

Busted then reformed in 2015 for a reunion tour and a new album.

Of course, things are a bit different this time around, with the boys all grown up.

Charlie has two kids, while Matt and his wife Emma Willis have three children: Isabelle, eight, Ace, six, and Trixie, one.

Matt previously told The Sun:  “I think everything’s different when you have a kid. Working is a little bit harder because when you’re away, that’s the down side of being in a band – that you have some time away from your family.

“But that’s just our job and we get to do something really cool for a living, which is awesome, but then we go home.”

Congrats Charlie and Anna!
