Radio legend Tony Blackburn has become a grandfather for the third time after his daughter Victoria Blackburn welcomed her first child, Eloise

The 83-year-old presenter described meeting the newborn as an exceptionally special moment and said he immediately felt a deep affection for her

Blackburn, who became a father to Victoria at 53, believes later parenthood can bring greater maturity and life experience

He remains very close to his daughter, who is also planning her wedding

She previously rejected his offer to DJ at the reception, fearing his famously cheesy style might be too much.
