Chris O'Dowd, Dawn O'Porter Expecting First Child Together

Chris O'Dowd and his wife Dawn O'Porter have announced they are expecting their first child together, via a very funny (and cute) ice bucket challenge!

The Bridesmaids actor made the announcement via twitter as he took on the ALS challenge, before nominating 'Baby O'Porter', and panning round to Dawn who poured water over her growing bump.

The couple have been married since 2012 and have made it no secret that they were eager to start a family, telling Weekend magazine recently: "I've started thinking about my family a lot."

Here’s my feckin ice bucket challenge. Spoiler Alert - I’m not alone! Thanks @hotpatooties &…#ALSIceBucketChallenge http://t.co/FPY7vmGq4H

"Maybe it's the sort of thing you do when you're on the cusp of having children. Or maybe it's just as you get older - a mortality thing," he added.

The ice bucket challenge was also used by Hayden Panettiere to announce her pregnancy, as she doused her bump with ice cubes.

Congrats to the gorgeous couple!
