Dancing on Ice judge Ashley Banjo and his wife Francesca have welcomed their second child.

The couple welcomed their daughter, Rose Audra, last year – and revealed they were expecting in December 2019.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, the 31-year-old revealed that they had become parents for the second time as they welcomed a baby boy.

“On Thursday the 26th March at 6.45pm our son came into the world weighing a healthy 8lbs 15oz. His name is Micah Grace Banjo,” he wrote.

“Our son, our little ray of light in a dark and uncertain time. @francescabanjoand I love him with the deepest part of our hearts.”

The couple revealed to fans back in December that they were going to become parents for the second time – with Ashley joking that “it’s a good job we like surprises.”

“Baby number 2 is officially in the mum oven ladies and gents and I feel so blessed and excited,” he continued, alongside a sweet family photo. “Our little family is growing.”

Francesca shared the same photo on her own Instagram, where she confirmed that “baby number two is officially pending.”

“As [Ashley] said, we feel very luck that our family is growing and that we have been blessed with this little surprise,” she wrote.
