It could be baby Chico time for Sussex's X Factor star.

Former goatherd Chico Slimani is reported to be due to hear the patter of tiny feet in June after it emerged his girlfriend Danijela Rakic is pregnant.

Chico, 34, is said to be ecstatic at the news and the pair have already decided on names - a girl will be named after actress Keira Knightly and a boy Zachariah.

It was a double celebration for Chico this weekend as his single It's Chico Time went straight to the top of the charts yesterday, knocking Madonna from the number one spot.

The energetic 34-year-old attracted an adoring fanbase during the finals of the hit ITV show with his imaginative performances and ability to stir up audiences with his cheeky charm.

The former Hazelwick School pupil moved to Crawley with his family when he was 14 after leaving Morocco.

He began training as a hairdresser at the Topsy Turvey salon in The Boulevard, Crawley, before working as an electrical engineer and a stripper.

He is currently on the road as the opening act on the X Factor tour and will be in action at the Brighton Centre tomorrow night.
