A 29-year-old man is all set to become Britain's youngest grandfather, as his 14-year-old daughter has become pregnant.
The man, whose identity is being kept anonymous to protect his young daughter, said he was fuming that his teenage daughter was 11 weeks pregnant.
"It's like history repeating itself. I quite like the idea of being the youngest grandad in Britain, but at the same time I'm fuming that she is pregnant," he said.
The 29-year-old still cannot digest that he will become a granddad
"I know myself how tough it is being a teenage parent and now she has to go through the same thing. However, we're all going to stand by her and we will welcome the little one into the family.

She is very young, but she was determined to keep the child. We were not going to force her into doing anything else. We don't want her to hate us," he said.
He added, speaking from his home in South Wales, "I don't feel like a grandad. I've not got grey hair and my hearing is top notch."
The man admitted he became a father back in 1996 when he was just 14. His own mother, who is now 47, is excited about the prospect of being a great-grandmother.
"She was 18 when she had me. She was shocked when I told her the news, but she is happy now," he said.

"Her own mum is alive, and so too is her grandmother, who will become a great-great-great grandmother. There can't be too many families with six generations alive at the same time."
In 2006, Tressa Middleton, became Britain's youngest mother after becoming pregnant at the age of 11.
Youngest Grandma
The record for the youngest grandmother is held by Mum-Zi from Nigeria who turned granny at the age of 17 years.
