The TV star told the Mirror that he is "overwhelmed" by his new role.
On being a father, Pete said: "It's a bit overwhelming, got it all going on at the moment!"
Revealing the sex of his first child, Pete added: "He's cool little lad, takes after his mum not me!"
He then quipped: "I’ve been up all night, I slept on the train here - got suitcases under my eyes, you just got me at a good time now."
Pete subtly announced his baby news in April during an episode of Gogglebox.
The show began by heading to the sibling duo in Blackpool and showed his little sister Sophie looking at her phone.
"My niece or nephew," she said as she asked Pete: "Does it look like me?"
The camera then revealed exactly what she as looking at - a scan picture of Pete's unborn baby with fiance Paige.
Pete then said: "Innit mad, I'm actually going to be a dad to somebody."
Sophie replied; "Crazy, life is coming at you fast."
The sibling duo are set to return for the new series of Gogglebox due back on screens this month.
