‘An appreciation post from me for the extraordinary Birmingham’s Women’s hospital. My first encounter with them was years ago when they looked after a pal of mine through surgery, and then most recently when they masterfully welcomed a little boy into the world, who happens to be my son.’

The new dad emphasised: ‘Birmingham is so lucky to have them and I will be forever grateful for everything they’ve done.’
The Birmingham native shared how much he’s ‘loving being a dad’ but joked that ‘sadly’ he thinks this now means he ‘can’t get out of’ doing his friends’ Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicome’s parenting podcast.
Fellow dads Josh replied ‘Next Friday?’ while Rob quipped: ‘Let’s talk…’
Congratulations Joe!
