Gino D'Acampo often keeps his personal life out of the spotlight, but on Tuesday he melted hearts as he introduced a new family member.

In a clip shared on his Instagram, Gino revealed a brand-new puppy, affectionately called Snoop, and his daughter Mia had the best response. In the video, Mia was blindfolded so that the surprise wasn't spoiled for her as her father asked if he remembered that she had a "late Christmas present" that was due to arrive. When she lifted the blindfold, the young girl screamed: "No you didn't! No you didn't! Oh my god!"

"Everyone meet Snoop D'Acampo," the father-of-three wrote, tagging his sons, Luciano and Rocco in the adorable clip.

The boys were among the first to respond to the family video, with Luciano saying: "Snoop Dog," alongside the paw print emoji, and Rocco simply adding: "Snoop," alongside the heart-eyed face emoji.

Others also responded to the adorable moment with family friend Fearne Cotton commenting: "This is pure joy! You are such a lovely dad."
