Former TOWIE star Mario Falcone shared an adorable festive family picture of his himself, his son Parker and wife Becky holding an ultrasound scan of their unborn child.
The couple and their four-year-old son wore Santa hats and grinned, with Becky holding the black and white picture to the camera.
Mario, 32, who appeared on TOWIE between 2011 and 2018, captioned the happy photo: "Merry Christmas from the 4 of us."
His celeb pals were quick to comment on the photo, with Love Island lothario Adam Collard posting a love heart emoji, while I'm A Celeb winner Vicky Pattison wrote: "You guys," followed by by an emoji with love hearts for eyes and a teary eyed emoji.

Mario revealed the news of his and Becky's pregnancy as he joined his sisters Giorgina and Giovanna Fletcher on her podcast Happy Mum Happy Baby.
It comes after Becky suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage at just eight weeks after having an IVF embryo implanted earlier this year.
Speaking on the podcast, Mario said: "This baby that's coming, we had IVF.
"That was a really really ... I had this thing in my head when we were tying for baby two, we had this added pressure we were letting Parker down.

"He's so ready for a sibling - when he comes home from his cousins and he loves being there, he says 'why haven't I got a brother or sister?'.
"That literally kills you as you're like I can give you anything you want as my son, but this is the one thing I actually can't give you."
He added: "This time, the third time, it has worked. She will be 16 weeks when this goes out.
The soon to be father of two revealed how hard the miscarriage hit his relationship with Becky.
He confessed: "That was probably the hardest thing we have had to deal with in our relationship.
"It's a disappointment of yourself, because we got really excited about telling our families at Christmas, we had little cards made that unfortunately arrived he next day, and then telling Parker - but we hadn't told him on that one."
Becky and Mario married in July in a glamorous Italian ceremony, at a breathtaking coastal venue in Sorrento.

The groom confirmed the news on Instagram, posting a photo of himself and his bride - with whom he shares three-year-old son Parker - in their wedding attire.
The dad was seen wearing a traditional black suit with a bowtie and flower lapel, whilst his wife wore a stunning white dress that featured embroidered detail.
Alongside the photo, which showed the newlywed couple posing together on a balcony against the backdrop of the Amalfi Coast, he wrote to his fans: "Mr and Mrs Falcone."
