Diver Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black have held a baby shower to celebrate the upcoming birth of their child.
The couple donned sashes reading "daddy to be" and novelty gold "oh baby" sunglasses for the surprise party held in London over the weekend.
Photographs they uploaded to Instagram showed them smiling and arm-in-arm - with a lavish buffet stacked with cakes, sandwiches and balloons.
The couple were married in May last year and announced in February that they were expecting their first child.
Daley has just returned from the Commonwealth Games, where he won gold in the 10m synchronised dive and made an appeal for LGBTQ rights across the Commonwealth.
Dustin Lance Black is the recipient of an Oscar for the 2008 film Milk.
In a YouTube video posted after the shower Daley answered fans questions on his feelings about becoming a dad.
"I am so buzzing," he said. "We're so excited we even bought a little kangaroo outfit while we were in Australia."
He also explained why he was wearing a supportive boot on his leg in the photographs, saying he had suffered a stress response in his shin but was still able to train.
The 23-year-old named the moment the couple learned their surrogate was pregnant as one of his favourite memories with his husband.
Daley and Black are expecting a baby boy - and announced that they were set to become parents with another Instagram post featuring an ultrasound scan.
