Despite posting updates since February, it’s only the most recent picture of Bowie with his big brothers – five-year-old Teddy and two-year-old Dougie – that caught peoples’ eye.

The former Olympic champion turned reality star and sports pundit shared his joy at becoming a dad again with cute pictures of the tiny tot.

The snap, which shows the latest addition to the Thomas family alongside his two older siblings, was captioned by Iwan: “The Thomas brothers [heart] literally my world right there.” He then followed it was a string of hashtags. 

Iwan’s followers were quick to rush to the comments section to congratulate him on the new arrival. One cooed: “Awwww congrats Iwan – blessed with 3 gorgeous wee lads.”

While another posted: “Congratulations to you both! Beautiful boys – you must be so proud.”

A third penned: “Awesome pic. Congratulations.”

A fourth added: “Cuteness overload with a side of mischief.” And another gushed: “What a gorgeous photo of your lovely boys.” 

Iwan and his long term partner decided not to reveal that they were expecting – opting to wait until the baby arrived.

Iwan shared a funny video of the newborn with his social media followers, using a TikTok video where the baby appeared out of nowhere in his arms.

“And then there were 3 boys – Meet Bowie 7lbs12 18/1/24,” he wrote. “Big thanks to all at Princess Anne hospital who were fantastic.”

Since retiring from sport in 2006 due to injury, Iwan has since taken part in a number of reality TV shows.

He has been a regular on ITV’s Through the Keyhole, as well as appearing as a contestant on Celebrity Masterchef, Total Wipeout, The Real Hustle and quiz show Eggheads.

He then went on to sign up as a contestant on the 2015 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
