Lottie Tomlinson has said she wishes her late sister and “best friend” Félicité had met her newborn son.
The 24-year-old, who is the sister of One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, gave birth a few days ago.
She hasn’t revealed her baby’s name yet, but the influencer – who has 4.7 million followers on Instagram - shared a few snaps in her stories announcing her son's arrival.
The baby’s father Lewis Burton, 30, who used to date Caroline Flack, also shared sweet snaps of them bringing their “little man” home in a carry cot.
But today Lottie expressed her sadness that Félicité, who died from an accidental drugs overdose when she was just 18, would never meet her baby boy.

Sharing some throwback snaps of them together as kids on what would have been Félicité’s 22nd birthday , Lottie wrote: “Happy birthday my angel sister & angel auntie.
“I wish you got to meet my boy, you would have loved him.”
Alongside a photo of her and Félicité with blue face paint on, she added: “I miss you best friend, now & always,” followed by a love heart emoji.
Lottie went on to post a cheeky snap of her younger sister as a baby, one of them holding hands while Félicité picks her nose and one of them dressed up for a party.
Tragically Félicité died from a heart attack on March 13, 2019 at her west London flat after taking a fatal concoction of drugs.
Alapraxolam – also known as Xanax - Oxycodone and cocaine were found in her system.
An inquest heard Félicité had spiralled into depression and drug abuse after losing her mother Johannah Deakin to cancer in December 2016.
Midwife Johannah died of leukaemia at the age of 43, leaving behind seven children - including Félicité, who was just 16 years old at the time.
After the tragedy, Félicité suffered with PTSD and started to abuse drugs.
She was sent to rehab, but Félicité ignored medical advice and got back in touch with people who took drugs with her.
The night before she died, Félicité - known as Fizz - had brought cocaine. Her horrified friend discovered her lifeless body in bed the next morning.
Paying tribute to his little sister, One Direction star Louis said: “My little sister. The prettiest, kindest, cleverest, most beautiful angel in the sky.
“I’ll love you in this life and the next and will never stop missing you... I love you sister.”
