Dec Donnelly has announced the arrival of his second child, a baby boy called Jack with wife Ali Astall, a little brother for their daughter Isla.
The delighted daddy announced the little boy as "a very welcome ray of light", coming just weeks after the death of his older brother Father Fr Dermott Donnelly.
