He wrote: “Happy Birthday Cassius! I genuinely can’t believe he’s 1 already, from this picture in the hospital before you even came home to the beautiful, little baby boy you are now in the next pic.

“Don’t want to get too deep but you never understand how much being a parent will change your life, mine’s completely changed for the better, I love you little man.

“We’re going to have loads of fun today with your mumma @naomiella21, but Sunday we have your party and we spend it with every who loves you and knows how special you are! Happy Birthday.”

Fans rushed to wish Cassius a happy first birthday, with one person saying: “Can’t believe he’s one already.”

Another said: “Happy 1st birthday Cass, I hope you have a wonderful day filled of fun,” while a third added: “He just gets cuter and cuter! I can’t believe where the last year has gone!”

Jordan and Naomi are expecting their second baby and announced the news back in January.

Dancer Jordan shared a pic showing himself grinning at a photo of a baby scan as soon-to-be big brother Cassius clutches onto the picture.

Jordan captioned the post: “CASSIUS IS GOING TO BE A BIG BROTHER!

“Genuinely never felt more blessed, last year having Cassius was the best thing that’s ever happened to me and @naomiella21, being a dad is genuinely the best job in the world and now we’re going to be mummy and daddy to another little bubba later this year!”

Praising his girlfriend, Jordan added: “@naomiella21 I’m so proud of you and the amazing mum/partner you are.

“Can’t wait for the rest of this year and the crazy adventure of our little family getting that bit bigger!”

Last month, Jordan revealed he has been all set to propose to Naomi twice – but on both occasions he’s been thwarted by her becoming pregnant!

He told The Sun Online: “I was ready to propose when I found out she was pregnant with Cass. So I thought: ‘OK, I’ll wait until he’s a little older and then I’ll take Naomi away and surprise her with a proposal.’

“Then, when I started thinking about doing it again this year, I found out she was pregnant again!”

He added: “”Marriage is definitely on the cards sooner rather than later,” he added. “It’s not just for me or Nay or the kids, it’s just a really nice thing to do.”
