At the time, he shared the happy news on social media and gushed over his “most special birthday ever”.

He wrote on Twitter: “Thanks for all the Birthday wishes everyone! It makes this my most special birthday EVER to let everyone know that later this year we will become Dads for the first time.

“This is the proudest moment of our lives and we are beyond excited to say it out loud! M&Cx.”

In July, Mark and Cailean then revealed they were expecting a girl.

During a Westlife concert in Croke Park in Dublin, Mark said that he couldn’t wait to raise his little girl “in this wonderful country”.

Earlier this year, the couple announced they were engaged.

Mark shared a photo of his hand with a silver wedding band on next to two glasses of Prosecco as the couple enjoyed a holiday in the Maldives.

The star also shared a video of their tropic getaway and another image showing the couple walking along the beach.
