Britain's Got Talent Stavros Flatley star has become a dad with wife Annika

Iconic Britain's Got Talent star Lagi Flatley has become a dad to baby Xenia with wife Annika, as the couple announced their happy delivery on Instagram.

Writing on the popular social media application, Lagi posted a photo of himself and Annika holding Xenia's hand, with the caption: "Xenia Demetriou, 31.03.2022"

However, the couple had decided to keep the baby's gender a secret from the world for a while, as the gender reveal was shown on their respective Instagrams in black and white, keeping the public guessing.

Plenty of fans wrote on this post trying to work out if the child is a boy or a girl, with one Instagram user writing: "oh come on pink or blue?"

Another said: "Looks pink to me."

And a third wrote: "Congrats! So is that pink or?"

And a fourth said: "Y'all wrong for this one. Come on!"

Since then, however, it has been revealed that baby Xenia is infact a girl.

Lagi became a child star after he appeared on Britain's Got Talent alongside father Demi in iconic duo act Stavros Flatley, donned in blonde wigs, topless and black dancing trousers.

As one of Simon Cowells' 'favourite ever dance acts' they came in fourth in the final, beaten by Julian Smith, Susan Boyle and winners Diversity.

Demi said at the time: "I can’t express to you how proud I am of Lagi.

"It’s not just the way he dances or the way he handles himself, but the best thing in the world is for somebody else to say, 'You’ve got a good kid'.

"I know it’s only a silly little dance and we just have a bit of fun, but I’m proud of him like you wouldn't imagine."

Lagi got engaged to Annika on New Year's Eve in 2020 and posted a pic of them on Insta saying: "I didn't get a trim and oh yeahhh guess what."
