New dad Howard has a lot to Bear

HOWARD DONALD has welcomed a new son, Dougie Bear, to the world — but it seems he’s not feeling the love himself.

The Take That star reportedly had to miss the premiere of bandmate Gary Barlow’s West End show The Girls as his wife Katie Halil went into labour yesterday.

But this morning he gushed:

Howard duly received oodles of love from fans, with one posting: ‘AWWWWWW ANOTHER BOYYYYY…CONGRATS BABE!!!! xxx’, while another wrote: ‘OMG HOWARD I AM SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU’.

But despite feeling planet-sized emotions and getting thousands of ‘likes’ and good wishes, it seems Howard was feeling a little unappreciated as he later posted this pic of a pregnant woman:

And the words: ‘Why is it when your wife or girlfriend gets pregnant all her friends rub her belly and say “congratulations!” but nobody rubs you d*** and says “good job”.’

Inevitably, many eager fans responded with offers of assistance, so hopefully Howie’s feeling a bit less left out now.
