Example has celebrated the birth of his first son with wife Erin McNaught, born in Australia last night.
Announcing it on Twitter, the rapper revealed he was overjoyed at the news, much to the joy of his 2.08 million followers, tweeting: "Our son Evander Maxwell Gleave was born at 2.06am 21.12.14 (Australia time). Mother and child are both gorgeous,"
Gleave also uploaded a black and white picture of his wife with the newborn, thanking his fans for the barrage of kind words and well wishes, one of which came from former Joy Division icon Peter Hook.

Despite the good news, it appears the couple have already been having some sleepless nights due to noisy neighbours, with the singer tweeting earlier this week: "House party next door have played Uptown Funk 12 times in a row. It's a great song but it's starting to feel like torture."
We're sure he'll be hearing the song a lot more if it claims the no.1 spot in the UK charts tonight (21 December).
