So it’s official – McBusted star Tom Fletcher has taken the title of celebrity dad of the year, beating Simon Cowell!
The singer who became a father to baby boy, Buzz Michelangelo, in March won the public vote for the title.
It’s said that Fletcher claimed the title thanks to his doting posts on social media of the young one, even before his arrival by documenting every day of his wife’s pregnancy while serenading her bump.
“It feels amazing being crowned Marvel’s celebrity dad of the year” said Tom.
“I feel very honoured, especially considering the competition I was up against. I apologise – sorry, Simon Cowell and Mo Farah”.
“Buzz has completely changed my life. Even before he was born, when we found out we were having a baby, it just completely turns your world upside down, really.
“I went on tour for three weeks after he was born and luckily he came a little bit early as well so it meant I got an extra week with him before I went away” he added.
“But it’s been a learning experience so far. It’s all worked out amazingly – they came on tour with me for a few weeks.
“I did a lot of travelling back and forth to see him and do my dad duties and change some nappies.
“I think it requires a lot of superhero qualities. You have to be patient and quite strong, because I think it’s really important to be there for mum in the first few months.”
