Frankie Bridge and husband Wayne Bridge have welcomed a new female addition to their family - an adorable puppy called Leia.
Speaking with her Loose Women co-stars on Friday, the I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star, 33, excitedly explained how she "finally has a girl in the house" and gushed over her new family member.
The mum of two sons joked that she got the pup as she wasn't planning to have anymore children but wanted a fellow girl in her male-dominated household.
After presenter Jane Moore teased viewers about Frankie's 'baby news' on Friday morning, it was time for The Saturdays singer to reveal the baby was actually a dog towards the end of the show.
Frankie began by telling viewers she was now mum to a "baby girl" before confirming she was talking about a puppy - jokingly quipping: "Fooled you."
She went on to reveal that the dog is named after Star Wars character Princess Leia, due to hubby Wayne's love of the franchise, and explained how she taken to carrying her 'baby girl' in a sling.
"I'll have a pram next," Frankie joked live on-air.
"She's basically a baby girl substitute because I'm not having anymore babies but I want a girl in the house."
Frankie and retired footballer Wayne, 41, are doting parents to sons Parker, eight, and six-year-old Carter, meaning their home is dominated by males.
The Loose Women present is also a step-mum to Wayne's firstborn Jaydon, 15, whom he shares with ex Vanessa Perroncel.
Frankie admitted earlier this year that she often feels broody for more children but she's not sold on the idea of trying for a third baby.
"I'm always broody, but it doesn't mean I'm gonna have one - and Wayne definitely doesn't want another," the TV star told Fabulous Magazine. "I like the idea of it, but the reality is different."
She added: "I'm not fussed about [having a girl]. Would it be nice to have a girl, to experience it? Yes, of course, but I don't have this big yearning."
Frankie first introduced Leia to her Instagram fans on Wednesday night, much to the delight of her followers and celebrity pals.
"We’ve had a girl! [love-heart emoji] Meet Leia Bridge … yes as in Princess Leia… guess who named her?! [laughing-face emoji]," the star began captioning a cute snap of the pup.
"We are all totally in love… as you can see… she’s slotted right in… Turbo is currently not convinced and wondering when she’s going to go home?! [laughing-face emoji] #dog #cavapoochon."
Frankie's former bandmate Mollie King - who recently announced her first pregnancy - was one of the many stars to comment, writing: "She’s adorable!! Love her!"
