The Apprentice star Tre Lowe, 50, becomes a father for the first time as he welcomes a son after saying he wants Lord Sugar to be the godfather
Tre, 50, who appeared on last year's edition of the BBC show, confirmed he was going to be a father back in November.
And on Saturday, he shared the happy news to Instagram that he and wife Enas have welcomed their son into the world.
He shared an adorable photograph of himself clutching his newborn son's hand as he gushed over his arrival.
' And just like that, I'm a father,' broadcaster and speaker Tre penned in a heartfelt post.
'There's nothing that prepares you for this moment. No book, no podcast, no advice. Just you, your son, and a whole new frequency of love.
'Real talk - the road to get here hasn't been easy. It's been full of plot twists, growing pains, and challenging moments.
'But every single one shaped me. Broke me open. Built something real. Something solid.'
Tre went on to reflect on some harder times in his life and praised his beloved wife, describing her as 'power'.
'Now I look at my son and everything makes sense. My mission. My why,' he continued.
'To everyone who's walked with me, held space - I see you. I thank you. I love you.
'To my wife Enas - you are power, beauty, grace and grit. What you've done, what you've carried, what you've become… I'm in awe.
'And to my son…I've got you. Through everything. Through the madness and the magic.
'From now till my last breath - I've got you. The next chapter begins now. Let's get it.'
Enas and Tre, who now live in London's affluent Notting Hill, tied the knot in July 2023.
The couple were previously quizzed on whether they are considering Lord Sugar as a godparent, following his good relationship with Tre on the show.
Tre, who just missed out on the final when he was fired in the penultimate episode of this year's series, gushed that the TV boss would be a 'great godparent'.
He told The Mail: 'God, if anything happened to me. I know my kid is going to be all right. If Lord Sugar was the godparent, can you imagine the wisdom that kid would have.
'I was lucky in many ways, because you know my dad's an entrepreneur as well. He came to this country penniless and made a small fortune for himself.
'So, we're lucky in that regard, and in Enas's side of the family the have a property portfolio from Libya to here. But God!
'If I could add Lord Sugar to the mix of that, my kid would be sorted. I mean, it would have the creativity of me, so that side would be sorted, and it would have the entrepreneurial side from Lord Sugar.'
Opening up on his concerns about his age, the TV star added: 'I do worry and think about whether I'm still going to be healthy and well. I'm very fit for my age, and even though I look much younger than what I am, biologically, I am still what I am.
'But like, I say, I think if you're not going to live life in your discomfort zone, there's no point living, and I always live by that motto.
'I'm really big on taking chances. Hence. Why, I went on to The Apprentice, and I love really the competition that life is, and I think the harder it is, the harder you become.'

Hailey Bieber shares very rare snap of son Jack Blues amid baby number 2 rumours
Businesswoman and model Hailey Bieber has delighted fans by sharing a very rare glimpse into her motherhood journey amid rumours that she and husband Justin are planning their second baby Proud mum Hailey Bieber has shared a rare snap of her son Jack Blues ahead of his first birthday. Hailey, 28, and her husband Justin Bieber, 30, welcomed their son in August and the couple announced the birth on August 23, 2024. They had previously announced Hailey's pregnancy in May after keeping it under wraps for months on end. Taking to Instagram on Sunday night, Hailey posted a very rare photo of her nearly one-year old son playing in the grass one a sunny summer day. It comes after Justin marked an incredible milestone after months of 'marriage woes' and fan concern. The sweet snap saw her blonde-haired little boy don a neon green pair of dungarees as he sat in the grass. Model and influencer Hailey captioned the post: "Summer things part 1". The photo dump also included several seflies and some home-cooked food content. The sweet snap of baby Jack Blues comes after it was reported that Hailey is ready to try for a second baby with husband Justin - but only if they can step back from the public eye. Despite complications during the birth of Jack Blues last August, which led to Hailey fearing for her life, the model and socialite is understood to want to extend her family. An insider said: "Hailey wants to have a second child with Justin as long as they can step back from the public eye a little bit. "She loves working on her company [Rhode Skin] and modelling, but she feels she would need some time away from the madness so she could be truly zen with it all and really enjoy the pregnancy." Hailey and Justin's plans come despite speculation of marital difficulties earlier this year, claims that Hailey strongly refutes. Fans shared their concern when Justin unfollowed his wife on social media. But sources understand two-time Grammy winner Justin, who married Hailey in 2018, is eager to have a second child too. The insider told Mail Online: "While he might appear out of step at times, the truth is he's quite down-to-earth and cherishes being a dad." Yet, if Hailey does fall pregnant again, it is believed she will want to stay near her home in Los Angeles - although her modelling career does involve travel. The entrepreneur, who was modelled for Vogue, likes being a "top dog" in the industry, the source added. "She will travel for work because she likes being a 'top dog' in the modeling world, but if she is pregnant again she will want to do her shoots closer to home. "That's pretty normal for any woman; no one wants to jet-set all over the globe with a baby bump and a stroller," the source continued. Hailey launched her skincare and beauty brand Rhode in 2022, sold the company to e.l.f. Beauty in a blockbuster $1 billion acquisition deal in May. The mum of one remains as the chief creative officer and head of innovation for the brand. But her first pregnancy was traumatic, and culminated in an 18-hour labour, which the actor called "the hardest thing I've ever done". Hailey told Vogue: "That s**t was so crazy. That was not fun. "They broke my water. I went into labour and I laboured for a few hours. No epidural, nothing." After labour, she experienced a postpartum haemorrhage, which she feared she wouldn't survive.

Awkward moment Strictly stars swerve questions over cocaine scandal live on This Morning after BBC investigation
AN awkward moment occurred on Monday's This Morning, as Strictly stars swerve the cocaine quiz live on the show, as a BBC investigation was revealed. BBC bosses are set to offer two Strictly stars at the centre of a drugs storm the chance to attend rehab. 5 5 5 In the latest scandal to hit the flagship BBC show, The Sun on Sunday revealed that the BBC had been forced to launch an investigation using external lawyers to look into allegations of drug use. A celebrity claimed it was 'well known on the show that two stars took cocaine'. And one star allegedly said to another, about a third: 'Have you seen their pupils . . . they're off their face.' And as a group of Strictly stars joined hosts Joel Dommett and Emma Willis to promote their The Return of the Legends tour, they were questioned about the latest show developments. Pasha Kovalev, Ian Waite, Brendan Cole and James Jordan were on the This Morning sofa. And presenter Joel spoke to the group and said: 'Strictly has been back in the headlines again this weekend. Do you have anything to say about what has come out?' Former Strictly star Brendan Cole spoke on behalf of the group, as he said: 'We hold Strictly very dearly in our hearts as it's why we're here on this sofa today. 'There will always be controversy with Strictly because there are too many people involved in it. 'Hopefully the BBC will handle things in the correct way and look after the people who are on the show. I think that's the most important thing. Whatever comes out will come out.' He continued: 'It's a serious subject and hopefully it's dealt with in the right way but it's one of those things where you don't really know what's going on behind the scenes or maybe you do and it's never dealt with at the source but that's not for us to know because we're not on the show.' BBC launches inquiry into damning allegations of drug consumption on flagship show Strictly Come Dancing This weekend, a source told The Sun: 'The BBC is taking the allegations really seriously. "Bosses are aware of the two stars in question and have a duty of care to make sure they're OK. 'As per BBC policy, the option of specialised professional support is on the table and will be offered.' They added: 'While drug testing won't happen on the main show, bosses are considering bringing in random checks for the tour next year. 'The BBC needs to be sure nothing illegal is going on. 'It all depends on what the investigation finds.' A BBC source said: 'Welfare is paramount for bosses.' During the This Morning appearance, Strictly's James Jordan added: 'We've got lots of friends on [Strictly] so it's very difficult for us to comment. 'We don't really know what is true and what isn't. It's just all hearsay at the moment.' 5 5

Gregg Wallace, 60, bizarrely does squats outside the gym as he continues to plug his personal training business - after hitting out at backlash over his autism charity appointment
Gregg Wallace bizarrely engaged in some early morning squats outside the gym on Monday amid his continued promotion of his personal training business following his MasterChef sacking. The presenter, 60, was recently dismissed from the cooking show after more than 40 complaints against him were upheld following a BBC investigation. And following his admission that his TV career is now 'done', Gregg proved to be his own best advert as he showcased his fitness skills at 5.50am. Donning a black zip-up sweater, black shorts and white trainers, Gregg looked on fine form as he warmed up by his car ahead of heading into his own training session. He later took to his Instagram stories to share a video of himself doing more squats, with the former greengrocer demonstrating his strength by clutching a heavy dumbbell as well. In recent days, Gregg has continued to promote his healthy eating website Gregg and his personal training services after previously admitting he's 'done' with TV amid his sacking. On Monday morning, he also posted a clip of himself drumming up business for his services, with Gregg offering '1 to 1 coaching' for '£200 a month.' Meanwhile, Gregg also shared a response from a Welfare Rights Adviser defending him after she'd reached out to him to see if the Disability Advice and Welfare Network (DAWN) could help him better understand his autism. Gregg had been criticised by disability charities after blaming his inappropriate behaviour on his autism. While Gregg also blamed the BBC for not providing enough support for him amid his condition during his 20 years working for the corporation. Several organisations have rejected claims that the former BBC presenter's misconduct, which included an allegation that he exposed himself while not wearing any underwear, was partly due to his condition. Supporters of the 60-year-old said his autism caused an 'inability to wear underwear because of his autistic hypersensitivity to labels and tight clothing' and also meant he had an 'oddity of filters and boundaries', The Times reported. Taking to his Instagram on Sunday, Gregg shared a message from charity boss Annie Sands, in which she hit back at criticism her organisation had faced for supporting Gregg. She wrote: 'We understand that recent discussions involving DAWN and Gregg Wallace have sparked public interest. However, many of the criticisms directed at us are based on assumptions rather than facts. Those commenting are not privy to the full context of our engagement with Gregg or the broader work we do. Following his admission that his TV career is now 'done', Gregg proved to be his own best advert as he showcased his fitness skills at 5.50am Donning a black zip-up sweater, black shorts and white trainers, Gregg looked on fine form as he warmed up by his car ahead of heading into his own training session He later took to his Instagram stories to share a video of himself doing more squats, with the former greengrocer demonstrating his strength by clutching a heavy dumbbell as well On Monday morning, he also posted a clip of himself drumming up business for his services, with Gregg offering '1 to 1 coaching' for '£200 a month' 'DAWN exists to support neurodiverse individuals, and we do so without prejudice or selective advocacy. Gregg Wallace, like many others we support, has found our guidance valuable-especially as a parent of an autistic child. Our role has been to help him better understand the implications of his diagnosis and how it affects communication and perception. 'People should never feel afraid to disclose their autism diagnosis. Doing so opens the door to reasonable adjustments in the workplace and other settings, which are essential for inclusion. Refusing support based on circumstance would be discriminatory and contrary to our values. @greggawallace.' Though Gregg didn't write a caption alongside Annie's message. the post was still met with a plethora of comments supporting him. Gregg previously insisted he is 'not trying to play the victim' and claimed his autism diagnosis was partly responsible for some of his alleged behaviour as it means he struggles 'to read people' and can be perceived as 'odd' at times. He also again defended allegations - which he claims have been 'sexualised' - that he would not wear underwear while working on the cooking show, saying it was due to his 'hypersensitivity' as a result of the condition. Gregg stepped down from the hit BBC cooking show after complaints were made about his behaviour and following a report into his conduct, in which 45 of 83 complaints were upheld. In total, 41 people complained. The review concluded that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour'. It added that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated', with 'one incident of unwelcome physical contact' also substantiated. The ex Eat Well for Less? presenter told the Sun that while he didn't deny being guilty of some of the claims, he believed things had been 'perceived incorrectly'. Gregg claimed that he had worked with around 4,000 people, meaning that just 0.5% of those he has worked with 'found fault with me'. He said his actions were the result of learned behaviour and workplace culture and claimed that his recent autism diagnosis also played a role. 'I know I am odd. I know I struggle to read people. I know people find me weird. Autism is a disability, a registered disability,' he said. Gregg has previously said he felt the BBC failed to provide enough support for his condition during his 20 years working on MasterChef. 'My neurodiversity, now formally diagnosed as autism, was suspected and discussed by colleagues across countless seasons of MasterChef,' he said. 'Yet nothing was done to investigate my disability or protect me from what I now realise was a dangerous environment for over 20 years.'
