Una Healy and Ben Foden

Una Healy and Ben Foden

Una Healy has officially changed her last name to Foden.

The Saturdays singer took to Twitter to announce the news, after changing her moniker on the social networking site to match the surname of her rugby player husband Ben.

She tweeted: "Hi everyone! I wish to announce that today I have officially changed my name to Una Foden :) #theartistformallyknownashealy (sic)"

Until now the 32-year-old pop star had chosen to be addressed by her maiden name after tying the knot to Ben in her native of Ireland last June.

Una's change of heart means she will also share the same surname as their 19-month old daughter Aofie Bell Foden.

Meanwhile, the red haired beauty, claims she is eagerly awaiting the arrival of band member, Frankie Sanford's baby as she is due to give birth to her little boy with soccer player Wayne Bridge in the next few days.

Speaking at the Attitude Awards after-party on Tuesday (15.10.13), Una said the band were all waiting by their phones for news of the birth.

She said: "The phone is on silent. We're waiting because it's literally coming in the next few days. [She's due] any moment now . All of us will [get the call]. She'll definitely send out a group text or something."
