A proud dad -to-be’s baby announcement has sent Twitter into meltdown as it takes on the style of football transfer deadline day.
Shaun McHugh, 26, from Kent, took to Facebook to reveal the happy news about the family’s “new signing”.
In an initial teaser post, he wrote: “Big news coming later today people… watch this space.”
He later posted: “New signing set to be announcement shortly - sounds of positive vibes incoming.”
Finally, he broke the news in a post which said: “We are excited to announce that we have signed baby McHugh on a life time contract to the McHugh and Jordan family. His/hers contract is due to commend on the 24/03/2020.”
The post was accompanied by a Gillingham FC jersey as well as two baby scan photos.
But Shaun added: “Don’t be fooled by the blue we don’t know the sex just yet.”
Shaun’s girlfriend and mum-to-be Amy Jordan shared the hilarious post to Twitter where it quickly went viral. At the time of writing, the tweet has 38.7k likes and 3.1k retweets.
Amy, 21, wrote: “My boyfriend announced our baby reveal like a football deadline date.”
Gillingham FC responded to the tweet, saying: “Congratulations to you both. We enjoyed the #DeadlineDay type approach!”
User Jake Bellamy responded to say he had done something similar after the arrival of his son.
He wrote: “Haha good lad! I did same when my lad was born… only the realest do this.”
