The 36-year-old furniture restorer and his spouse Polly - who got hitched last summer - took to Instagram to share a picture of himself holding a mug with the word "papa" on it to announce the pair's baby news.

He captioned the post: "A new mug to add to my collection this summer.

"We are so excited for our new little arrival and to extend our family."

The woodwork expert - who shot to fame on the BBC One restoration show - and his wife were inundated with messages from well-wishers, including one from his co-star Jay Blades.

The 52-year-old presenter wrote: "Congratulations all three of you."

Will likes to keep his personal life private but gushed about his and doctor Polly's wedding day in August.

He wrote on the social media app at the time: "The best day of my life. Thank you to all who attended and to those that helped to make it happen."

The pair were forced to postpone their nuptials in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After completing two degrees in graphic design and antique furniture restoration and conservation, the talented carpenter opened his own workshop in 2012.

A year later, he appeared on Channel 4's 'The French Collection' and then joined the BBC's'What To Buy and Why', before appearing on 'The Repair Shop' in 2017.

The popular show sees Britain's top restoration experts breathe new life into treasured family heirlooms.
