Fans and famous friends rushed to the comments section to send their congratulations
'It's quite upsetting, I'm starting to get my head around it a little bit more because I always feel like if you meet me and you know me then you wouldn't say it. So why do I let these people affect me when they don't know me?
'I argue and I let it affect my mental health and it gets me down. Trolls always pick on the things they know will hurt you, it affects you more when it's your child.'
The dedicated father also said that Leo has 'changed my life' as he gushingly described him as 'the most amazing little boy'.
