Many Bradycardia sufferers can lead normal but in severe cases where not enough blood is pumped to the heart, it can lead to fatal heart attacks.

The group made the finals of The X Factor 2017, during which time Kieran announced he was expecting his first child with ex-girlfriend, Sophie Johnson, who he split with just weeks before the birth.

But the star is striving to be the best father possible to son Jaxon, and told The Sun: ‘It’s wicked. He’s a blessing to my life and another reason to carry on pushing forward and become better, not even just in music but as a person in general.

‘He’s really changed my outlook on everything so I’m very thankful to have him in my life.’   

Sophie broke the news she was pregnant with his child during the Judges’ Houses stage of the competition.

The singer confessed he was nervous about becoming a father at such a young age, but was determined to be a great parent because of his own experience of growing up without a dad.

Kieran – whose band were snapped up by Simon Cowell’s Syco label – confessed: ‘I am scared because I’m only 21 but I’m ready to step up.

‘It really shocked me and caught me off guard. But there was never any conversation about not going through with it. It’s a blessing, not a curse.’
