When you hear the words 'baby shower' you probably think of numerous cooing middle-aged women sat in a living room opening presents and sharing adorably pointless stories about their own toddlers.
And of course single Sally crying in the corner about the fact she's never going to find a man that wants to have a baby with her while the other women say things like, 'Prince Charming is right around the corner', and, 'Hang in there, babe. Mr Right is out there'!
What you probably never think of is a man dressed in a nappy with a dummy in his mouth getting boozed up with his pals in the back garden on a bouncy castle.

For Tom Hocking, this was reality and has potentially sparked off the start of the father-to-be's version of a baby shower.
His girlfriend Anna Hutchinson was holding her own baby shower with her friends and so, to get Tom out of the house, his mate William Lane down the road decided to have him round for a barbecue and a few drinks.
Little did Tom know what his friends had in store for him.
"We got wind of Tom telling everyone he was having a baby shower at mine when he wasn't," William told TheLADbible.
"Some of our other friends started ringing me asking why they weren't invited so I thought if Tom's going round telling everyone he's having one [a baby shower] then I'd get him an outfit for the day."

"We gave him a real baby shower. After all, that is what he wanted."
These lads from Nuneaton may have just started something special for expecting-fathers everywhere.
How often are they going to have the chance to get a few bevs down them when the baby arrives? Exactly.
