Hugh Grant a father for second time

Actor Hugh Grant has become a father for the second time and announced the news on his Twitter account - but warned the press to leave his family in peace.

The Notting Hill and Bridget Jones star is "thrilled" to have welcomed a baby boy, a brother for his one-year-old daughter Tabitha, with Chinese actress Tinglan Hong - a relationship that started out as a fleeting affair".

The 52-year-old film star has almost been more famous for his appearance at the Leveson Inquiry and his campaigning for a more responsible press of late than for his films, and his tweets are not without a reference to that passion.

He tweeted: "In answer to some journos. Am thrilled my daughter now has a brother. Adore them both to an uncool degree. They have a fab mum.

"And to be crystal clear. I am the Daddy.

2Thanks for v kind messages. Now I've confirmed (press somehow got birth certificate & were calling),hoping my family will be left in peace."
