The Rixton singer is thrilled after his brother Shane Richie Jr welcomed daughter Amelia Rose with his good friend Emma Kivell and can't wait to spend time with the latest addition to the family.

Shane and Jake's father is 'EastEnders' actor Shane Richie.
Meanwhile, Shane Jr previously revealed the baby wasn't planned but he was incredibly excited.
He wrote on Facebook: "Hey everyone, so yeah I'm having a baby (not me personally, OBVS.)
"I thought I may as well share it all with ya as half of you have guessed anyway. It's really something that wasn't planned but me and the Mother to be are friends and will remain friends for the baby's sake.
"I'm gonna have a big role to play and honestly I can't wait. Family all know and are over the moon (sic)."
