Johnny Vaughn to be a dad again

Johnny Vaughn is to become a dad again.
The 53-year-old radio presenter – who already has Tabitha, 19, and Rafferty, 16, with his first wife Antonia Davies – is expecting his third child with music executive girlfriend Vanessa Howard.
According to The Sun newspaper, Vanessa, 36 – who he has been dating since 2017 – shared a snap on her Instagram account announcing she is six months pregnant.
The pair were introduced through mutual friends some years after his divorce in 2013, and have been "loved-up" ever since.
A source said at the time: "There’s a spring in his step again. Vanessa makes him really happy and he seems loved-up."
Before settling down with Vanessa, Johnny admitted he struggled to find love after his marriage of 28 years broke down.
The former ‘Big Breakfast’ host found himself "telling lies" on dates to impress women.
He said: "I’m finding it very hard, to be honest. I’ve struggled. I’ve been on a few dates but I don’t know what to say.
"I find myself telling lies to impress people. I told one I was training for a triathlon, which I’m absolutely not."
It comes after Johnny’s former ‘The Big Breakfast’ co-star Denise Van Outen previously claimed wages and ego caused their feud.
The 45-year-old TV star shared presenting duties with Johnny on the Channel 4 morning show before their on-screen partnership ended amid competition over their salaries, and Denise recently opened up about the breakdown of their friendship.
She said: "We were proper mates. I laughed every day, we used to laugh to the point where I was going to wet myself. Then things happened and we’ve had fallouts along the way.
"There’s are couple of reasons why … when the show became successful and we were negotiating contracts I thought we were doing it as a team but his agent had other ideas and she got him more money, and there were all those arguments that happens with bands and presenters.
"I wanted us to be a team and it became apparent we were not a team anymore and we never got back on track.
"Sometimes when I do meet up with male people in the industry their egos take over a bit and they don’t want to have the conversation.
"I do love him to bits I’m not saying anything untoward about him! I don’t know his kids and we don’t really know anything about each other anymore."
