Former Strictly Come Dancing professional Brendan Cole and his wife Zoe Hobbs have reportedly welcomed their second child into the world, a baby boy!

Despite the couple not publicly confirming the news yet, reports are suggesting Brendan was overheard telling friends as he attended today's TRIC Awards, announcing his new born son is called Danté.

Despite not confirming the news on social media yet, Brendan and his wife Zoe have been preparing for their new arrival and showed off some of their supplies to fans earlier this month.

Posting a photo of a baby seat, shoes and a blanket, Brendan's wife Zoe wrote, 'Just some of the goodies ready and waiting for baby number 2! It’s amazing how things have come on in the last 4 years since we had Aurélia. Things are so much more stylish especially with the arrival of all the fab Scandi baby companies. You barely notice these things lying around in your living room! Thanks'. sic

Baby Danté is the couple's second child together, they welcomed their daughter Aurélia on Christmas Day in 2012.

The happy news comes just a month after Brendan appeared on Lorraine admitting he'd been sacked from Strictly Come Dancing.

Despite appearing on the show since the first ever series, Brendan said, “It’s actually hard to talk about. The BBC haven’t renewed my contract. We get contracted year upon year. They’ve made an editorial decision to not have me back on the show. I’m a little bit in shock. I’m quite emotional, a bit raw about it.

“It’s done via a process of a phone call and stuff. I have had 15 incredible series on the show. I’m very proud of the whole show. It’s a great team.”

He later added, “I’m disappointed. It’s very hard to talk about. It’s a recent decision."

It was later reported that Brendan could move to America to appear on the American series of the popular dancing show alongside former head judge Len Goodman.
