It’s called labour for a reason but, when model Ayda Field was admitted to hospital to give birth yesterday, her husband Robbie Williams was determined to make light of the situation – by posting a blow-by-blow account of the event on Twitter.

The former Take That star kicked things off by posting a shot of Field’s high-heeled Louboutin-clad feet with the caption: ‘When Ayda goes into labour she comes correct ; ) RW x’.

At turns touching, cringy and downright jaw-dropping (note the point in which he’s singing Frozen hit Let It Go while Ayda’s legs are in stirrups), Rob went on to document the whole process in bite-size picture and video form.

Spoiler alert: it had a happy ending with the arrival of the couple’s yet-to-be named son, a little brother for their two-year-old daughter Teddy.

We’re all for having a supportive partner in the delivery room, but inviting his 2.34m Twitter followers in too? Ayda, you’re a far more gracious woman than we.

Congratulations.
