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
The Apprentice star Tre Lowe has officially become a father after welcoming his first child.
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.'

Now, the star's plea in a final video message has resurfaced, which saw Ananda speaking to fans just over three months ago. She could be seen sitting in her pyjamas on her sofa, and told fans in the caption: 'Prevention IS the cure 💕If you're in a healthy body, you're holding a winning lotto ticket.

BBC Scotland cuts coverage of Edinburgh's festivals
It will be staging only five days of events with ticketed audiences after deciding to share space with the Pleasance Courtyard and the EICC. Stand-up comedian Mark Nelson will also be returning with a festivals highlights programme, Edinburgh Unlocked, for the BBC Scotland channel. Read more: More than 100 shows have recorded or broadcast live across at least two weeks by the BBC since it started running its own pop-up venue during the summer festivals in 2011. The line-up had gradually expanded to include programmes for the UK radio network, the BBC Scotland TV channel and Radio Scotland, the iPlayer and the BBC Sounds platform. BBC Scotland is based at Pacific Quay in Glasgow. (Image: Newsquest) The BBC's pop-up venue drew thousands of ticket-holders to the visitor attraction Dynamic Earth every day during the 2023 and 2024 festivals. Special guests included singer-songwriters Kyle Falconer, Richard Jobson and Tom Robinson, authors Denise Mina, Ian Rankin, Val McDermid and Andrew O'Hagan, actors Brian Cox, Jack Docherty and Miriam Margolyes, comics Connor Burns, Frank Skinner and Susie McCabe, and theatre-makers Cora Bissett, Kieran Hurley and Gary McNair. The BBC's pop-up venue was previously set up in the grounds of George Heriot's School, and at sites at Potterrow and High School Yards. Stars who appeared in shows included comics Paul Merton, Nicholas Parsons, Tim Vine, Lucy Porter, Susan Calman and Russell Kane, writers Jackie Kay, Louise Welsh, Stig Abell and Alexander McCall Smith, and singer-songwriters Edwyn Collins and Rachel Sermanni. The cuts in coverage of the Edinburgh festivals, which have emerged a few months into the tenure of new BBC Scotland director Hayley Valentine. A spokesperson for the BBC said: "The BBC will return to the Edinburgh festivals with shows coming from the EICC and the Pleasance Courtyard between August 4 and 8. "Our coverage will include ticketed events for audiences to attend recordings and live broadcasts of BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio 4 shows. "Edinburgh Unlocked presented by Mark Nelson will also return to the BBC Scotland channel, giving audiences a backstage pass to all the best of the Fringe and the wider festivals. "We will also continue to provide special reports from the Edinburgh festivals across news tv, radio and online throughout August. "Details of our programming line-up will be announced in due course.' The scaling back of Edinburgh's festivals coverage has emerged following a number of recent controversies over the BBC's output in Scotland. There was anger last year over a shake-up in Radio Scotland's music programming and its impact on long-running specialist shows on jazz, classical music and piping. The BBC also came came under fire when it announced that its hour-long news programme The Nine would be scrapped just five years after its launch on a new BBC Scotland channel and replaced with a new early evening show, The Seven, which was launched in January. However fresh controversy erupted in March when the BBC announced that it would be bringing the long-running drama series River City to an end, with the budget for the show redirected towards three dramas. More than 12,000 supporters have backed a petition to save the show, while a politicians joined cast and crew to stage a protest outside the Scottish Parliament building at Holyrood. The BBC said the show, which has been on air since 2002 and is due to end in the autumn of 2026, was no longer offering "value for money." The BBC spokesperson added: "The BBC works within an increasingly competitive marketplace and tight budget constraints. "We have to make tough decisions to ensure we are delivering value for money which inevitably means evolving our offer accordingly whilst remaining committed to covering the Edinburgh festivals across all platforms."
