Little Robbie seems thrilled with the exciting baby news and Claudine said that he is constantly asking if it's true.

"He's asking my really funny questions like, 'Mummy, are you sure it's definitely a baby and not a lizard," she said.

"He's so hilarious, he's thinking so hard because he wants to make sure it's actually a baby."
