Fans thought Gaz Beadle had welcomed his child after seeing this photo

Gary Beadle managed to trick most of his fans into thinking that he had welcomed his first child.

The star's girlfriend, Emma, isn't due until the new year but after he posted a picture on Instagram and Twitter, fans thought she had given birth early. Using the not so subtle caption, 'crazy day', followed by some baby and shocked emojis he shared a photo of him holding a little baby.

Understandably, lots of fans began to congratulate the reality star, even though most of them were very confused.

"Congrats Gaz." "wait a minute, your son was born already?" "omg congratulations on finally being a dad!!!" "Congrats, it suits you."

Others weren't as convinced and pointed out his lack of taste for the post:

"So is this his baby? Or is he trying to be funny and implying his baby is here super early and premature?! Full of class if it is a joke."

But, alas, all wasn't as it appeared. Gaz later followed up with an update to say that he and Emma were visiting a friend who had just welcomed twins.
