England footballer Joe Cole is going to be a dad.

Cole confirmed that his wife and I'm a Celebrity star Carly is three months pregnant.

"We are really happy and looking forward to the birth of our first child," the Sun quoted Cole, as saying.

The pair discovered they were going to be parents shortly after their lavish wedding in West London in June.

Their friends believe Carly got pregnant on their Caribbean honeymoon, which they went on before their wedding.

"They are absolutely over the moon. They were desperate to start a family as soon as they got married - we knew it was just a matter of time. Joe hasn't been able to stop smiling," said a source.
