Scotland’s First Minister has announced he and his wife are expecting a baby this summer, saying they are “delighted” to be adding to their family.

Humza Yousaf said his wife Nadia El-Nakla is due to give birth in July.

It will be the first time a Scottish First Minister has had a child while in office.

The couple already have two children – their daughter Amal is four and Yousaf is stepfather to 14-year-old Maya.

Yousaf has previously spoken publicly about miscarriages the couple have suffered.

As he spoke about his desire to improve miscarriage care last September, he revealed he and El-Nakla have lost four pregnancies – “two before our daughter was born and another two after”.
