"We adore both Aoife and Donal. They will make a fabulous pair of Godparents and provide Blu with so much love, support and of course, a little bit of spoiling. In fact, they will give @pipsy_pie & @simonjonespr a run for their money in the Godparents department.
"Arthur & I are truly blessed when it comes to the Godparents we have for both our daughters but also the love and encouragement we receive from all our family and friends is priceless. It really does take a village, people."
Donal Skehan was one of the first to comment, saying: "Already in LOVE! Blu we got you!"
