From one major role to another - Fifty Shades' Jamie Dornan is to become a dad!

The new Christian Grey and his actress wife, Amelia Warner (you may know her from Quills and Mansfield Park) have just welcomed a baby, according to Us Weekly. Whilst no details on the baby's sex or name have been revealed, a source close to the couple said he was "thrilled" to be a father.

Married since April this year, Jamie and Amelia confirmed in June that they were expecting, and the pair will now settle down in a rented home near the Fifty Shades film set in Vancouver for the baby's first Christmas.

Ex-Calvin Klein model and The Fall star Dornan took over the role of Christian Grey from Charlie Hunnam - and his appointment has gone down pretty well with hardcore fans of the books - who are hoping he'll appear full frontal in the movie.

He previously told Entertainment Weekly he wasn't shocked by the sex scenes in the book, saying:

"I'm a fairly worldly guy...I grew up in a very liberal place. I'm not saying we had a playroom, but I'm not shocked [by the sex in the book]. It's essential to tell the story...So it works for me."
