“Happy birthday to you both and to Beau on becoming a big brother… Wow, happy birthday to you all, he’s beeeeeeaautiful xxx… Happy birthday!! He is gorgeous. I’m so happy for you both!’
“Awww, congratulations – that’s fantastic news!!” Welcome to the world of Finley.
The happy couple tied the knot in a ceremony last month, both dressed in suits, Newton shared on Instagram. In no time at all, Gemma was holding her bouquet over her stomach.
The pop singer, best known for his music in the 2000s, returns to the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival 2023. He will also perform at a stately home at Melbourne Hall this summer.
Unusually for a roots singer-songwriter, Newton comes from a stage school background. After primary school he attended the Italia Conti Academy in London before moving on to the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford.

His rise in 2007 was a word-of-mouth phenomenon, as he was famous for his tongue-in-cheek asides and off-the-cuff covers – everything from SpongeBob SquarePants to Bohemian Rhapsody.
He’s been on the road for 18 months promoting his debut and intends to do the same for Rebuilt By Humans starting next month.
He said in 2009, “When people see me live, they understand what I’m trying to do,” he says. “After signing a big record deal I went on tour with James Morrison and Paolo Nutini and those gigs paved the way for my first album…
“Now I’m looking forward to doing it all again.” I’ll be on stage alone, but the show will be more visual this time. I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve.’
