Strictly Come Dancing professional Neil Jones has been in a baby bubble ever since he and his fiancée, Love Island star Chyna Mills, welcomed daughter Havana in October.
Now, the dancer says he couldn't be more excited as he and Chyna gear up for their first Christmas as new parents.
"I'm so looking forward to Christmas as a dad - it'll be different, but I love it," he says. "I've always been family-oriented, so I'll really enjoy it."
But after a gruelling three months working on the latest series of Strictly, Neil - who chatted to us at Action For Children's Starry Night Gala in London says he'd love to jet off to sunnier climes when he finally gets a break from work.
"Our plans for Christmas aren't sorted yet," he says. "Normally, I go abroad because my thing is to finish Strictly and then go on the tour in the new year - so if I don't go away in between, I don't have time.
"Chyna and I haven't decided where we'll go, but I think it's the best time to take Havana away when she's this small. They say to start them young!"
