FINALISTS FOR ICELOLLY.COM CELEBRITY DAD OF THE YEAR UNVEILED
The shortlist for icelolly.com Celebrity Dad of the Year 2015 has been announced today, with some interesting match-ups on the cards following a vote by the British public.
Old Take That pals Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams will fight it out to see who rules the world when it comes to fatherhood, with ex-Manchester United stars David Beckham and Rio Ferdinand also going head-to-head.
Singers dominate this year's shortlist, with previous Celebrity Dad of the Year winners Peter Andre and Tom Fletcher making the final cut alongside JLS's Marvin Humes.
Entertainment mogul Simon Cowell secured his place in the top 10 following a late wave of support from his fans, where he will be joined by The Duke of Cambridge – Prince William claiming the bragging rights over his wife, Kate Middleton, who did not reach the final in the icelolly.com Celebrity Mum of the Year contest earlier this year.
Completing the shortlist is former TOWIE cast member Dan Osborne, who recently welcomed baby Ella with girlfriend Jacqueline Jossa.
The lucky finalists combine for a grand total of 22 children. David Beckham has been a father the longest, with son Brooklyn aged 16, while the latest birth belongs to Prince William, with Princess Charlotte born only weeks ago.
Ross Matthews, Chief Marketing Officer for icelolly.com, commented: "Mothers get a lot of credit, and rightly so, but let's not forget the role dads play in their children's lives. Celebrity Dad of the Year is our way of celebrating deserving famous fathers. We have some very strong finalists and I suspect it's going to be an incredibly close call!"
