BRIT Award winner Rag 'n' Bone Man will appear on The Jonathan Ross Show tomorrow (9th September) to reveal some exciting news.

Earlier this year the 'Human' singer announced he and his girlfriend Beth were expecting, with a due date of September and it seems like their little boy was right on cue.

Speaking to the show's host Jonathan Ross, Rag 'n' Bone Man, real name Rory Graham said, "My little boy. He was born about five days ago. His name’s Reuben. He’s tiny. I’m really chuffed."

When asked about the inevitable sleepless nights he said that he was used to it as he has been on tour recently,

"I’m on tour cycle, so for the last three or four months I’ve been used to getting about four hours a night on the tour bus," he explained.

Continuing, "My missus has had to deal with what she’s had to deal with, and I’ve found it fairly easy because I’m on that cycle anyway. Four hours a night is enough for me."

It seems that despite becoming a new dad Rag ‘n’ Bone Man has found time to pen a new song about his little boy. “I actually wrote a song about my boy in the hospital" he told Jonathan, "we have some good friends and they have a son called George, and the title of the song is called ‘Now George Has Got A Friend'."

He also said he was intending to get back in the studio "on and off" as he hopes to get a new album out fairly soon.

Rag 'n' Bone Man rose to fame last year with the success of his debut single 'Human'. Following his initial success he went on to win two BRIT Awards, as well as having the decade's fastest-selling debut album by a British male, also called 'Human'.

Rag 'n' Bone Man has been announced as a Q Award nominee as well as the headline act for this year's Hogmanay celebrations in Edinburgh, which is set to be an amazing night.

Congratulations Rag 'n' Bone Man and Beth!

The Jonathan Ross Show is shown on Saturdays at 9.15pm on ITV.

Other guests on tomorrow's show include Dame Joan Collins, Jack Dee and Game of Thrones' Natalie Dormer.

Rag 'n' Bone Man and Beth are the most recent of many celebrity couples who have welcomed babies this year including, Liam Payne and Cheryl, George and Amal Clooney and tennis star Serena Williams and her fiancé Alexis Ohanian.
