Father-of-four Wayne released a video to celebrate his son Freddie’s 20th birthday. The video showed a younger Freddie playing with a hoop, with Wayne captioning the clip: “Sorry @freddie_lineker you won’t like me for this, but as a father it’s very special… Happy 20th birthday to my special handsome boy and superstar DJ…keep doing what you’re doing.

“Great things happen and are your credit without any help from me!! ‘Dad, I get it, I appreciate you wanting to help me but I have to do it myself.’ I’m so proud of you when you told me that I love you #boy.

He was completely unconscious for at least 20 “He wasn’t talking much when he finally came back. I stayed to help him and the police came, but they didn’t stay long and didn’t really do much and left quickly.” , reports The Sun.
