Britain's oldest Dad

Doting Dennis Ealam has fathered his third child in as many years at the age of SEVENTY-SEVEN.

The retired lorry driver, who will be 78 in October, already has ­toddlers Johnathon, two, and Jessie, 14 months, to care for.

His wife Cora, who at 36 is FORTY-ONE years younger than her husband, will be giving birth to their third child in May – despite having been on the PILL.

It means Dennis is on course to enjoy his 80th ­birthday party with three of his children under six.

Not bad for someone who ­survived a brain tumour and ­divorced his previous wife after 47 years because, as he recalled, the passion ­“fizzled out”.

Dennis’s eldest son Andrew, 49, who has three children, is amazed that he will have a new baby sister a week after he turns FIFTY.

He said: “It’s crazy. I’m still struggling to believe my dad had me half a century ago and has another child on the way.”

The Ealams’ story emerged a week after The People told how Britain’s oldest dad of twins Richard Roden, 72, ­had become a father again after his wife Lisa, 26, gave birth to his 13th child, ­daughter Madison.

Last night Dennis put his ­extended ­fatherhood down to ­giving up cigs and booze.
