Talking about the day, Hitchcox told Hello!: “He (Marley) was quite unfazed by the whole day, but he knew it was his party. He was clapping along to the music and taking it all in.

“It was important to us to choose godparents we are close to and who we know will still be in our lives as Marley grows up.”

Property developer Hitchcox also spoke of his joy at welcoming another child into the family.

He said: “We’ve been overwhelmed by the miracle of life again.

Global’s Make Some Noise Night – LondonTina Hobley was among the guests.

“Age has definitely given me the ability to be more respectful of the whole experience, and much more able to live in the present, appreciating every second of it.

“Marley has completely changed our lives. We were already full-on parents and now we are back to the beginning, but in a really lovely way. ”

“Believe it or not, we are happy to drag ourselves out of bed at the crack of dawn every morning because we can’t wait to spend time with him. He is an utter joy.”
