Dancing With The Stars judge Arthur Gourounlian reveals sweet tribute he plans for his new baby

RTE Dancing With The Stars judge Arthur Gourounlian has revealed he is going to get a tattoo of his baby’s heartbeat.

Arthur is expecting his first child with husband Brian Dowling next month.

Ahead of the tot’s arrival, the popular Armenian-born dancer revealed he plans to get his baby’s heartbeat tattooed on his body.

He told followers on social media how he had been keeping the surprise a secret from his Big Brother star hubby.

He said: “I’m so excited about this, I never told anybody, even Brian didn’t know about this until today, but I always told myself that if I’m having kids, I’m going to get a scan of the heartbeat and get a tattoo done.

“Brian did not know about this so today I asked Declan to get me a scan of the heartbeat so I’m going to get the heartbeat and the name tattooed. I don’t know where yet, I think I know where but I’m not telling you right now.

“I kept it a secret for myself but today Brian was like ‘are you serious?’, I’m dead serious.”

The excited couple are in the final few weeks before Brian’s sister Aoife, who is their surrogate, gives birth to their child.

Last weekend, the trio hosted a lavish baby shower on the rooftop of the Marker Hotel in Dublin with close friends and family, which included Grainne Gallanagh and Saturday’s singer Una Healy in attendance.

The pair beamed in front of a huge balloon display with ‘BDG’ written in large letters.

Brian wore a blue, pink and red shirt with blue jeans while Arthur rocked a colourful rainbow-patterned shirt and yellow trousers.

They captioned the snap: “Baby Dowling Gourounlian, let’s CELEBRATE your pending arrival. It’s baby shower time.”
