Tory leader David Cameron and wife Samantha expecting baby
DAVID Cameron's wife Samantha is pregnant and expecting the couple's fourth child in September, it was announced today.
Samantha Cameron and her husband, Tory leader David Cameron, were said to be “completely thrilled” by her pregnancy.
The couple tragically lost their six-year-old son Ivan in February last year.
They also have a four-year-old son, Arthur Elwen and a six-year-old daughter Nancy.
A Conservative Party spokesman said: “The baby is due in September and David and Samantha are completely thrilled.”

Mr Cameron has admitted to being broody several times over recent months.
Answering a question on population growth from an audience member at the Woodstock Literary Festival in September, he said: “I don’t believe Britain is over-populated. I don’t have any plans to reduce it.
“I would quite like to add to it, personally, by quite possibly one, at some stage in the future.”
Touring a maternity unit in West Yorkshire in December he met a nine-hour-old baby and told reporters: “It makes me want another one.”
Mr Cameron recently disclosed that his wife was being deployed as a “secret weapon” for the General Election campaign.
But the Opposition leader admitted that he hoped racy modelling shots of Samantha that surfaced this weekend would never come to light.
The pictures, taken soon after the couple married more than a decade ago, show Mrs Cameron in a variety of outfits, draped across sofas and rolling on the floor with a kitten.
The fashion and retail executive apparently agreed to pose as a favour to a friend who designed the clothes.
Mr Cameron told reporters this morning that the couple were “both very surprised” when the photos surfaced.
He said: “She did these pictures a long time ago in connection with her business, I think back in 1996 or 1997.
“But we knew one day someone might remember them. We were hoping they would never appear, but they have. These things happen.
