Stourport GP Andrew Cox celebrated becoming a dad for the first time at 7.50am on New Year's Day when wife Nicola gave birth to baby Eleanor.

The proud father, who practices at York House, said: "We didn't expect to it to be New Year's Day at all, it was due before Christmas but it was perfect being on a day like that, we were really happy she was born on New Year's Day.

"Most people associate New Year's Eve and New Year's Day with getting drunk and having a hangover but we have another thing to celebrate now."
