The Take That star, who is number one in the singles chart, collected the prize ahead of the birth of his fourth child.

He pipped reigning champion Peter Andre to the title, which is officially called the Premier Inn Celebrity Dad Of The Year 2012 and is chosen in a public vote.

It comes just days after he organised the spectacular Diamond Jubilee concert outside Buckingham Palace and his track Sing, written for the Jubilee, is top of the charts.

It is the first time Barlow, 41, has won it and earlier this year he posted a message on Twitter telling Andre to “stand aside”.
