Congrats to Joanna Page on the birth of Kit James!

Gavin and Stacey star Joanna welcomes new baby boy

Actress Joanna Page and husband James Thornton have welcomed a new son into the world on April Fool’s Day - and that’s not a practical joke!

Joanna and former Emmerdale star James announced the birth of son Kit James on Twitter, although we are yet to see a photo of the little one. 

Kit is little brother to the couple’s daughter Eva. 

James said on Twitter that it was “the best April Fool ever”. 

Got the best April Fool ever yesterday! Our baby boy Kit James arrived into the world! He's a big lad, 8lbs. Mum and baby both fine.
