Lucy Mecklenburgh has given birth to her second child - a baby girl.
The former TOWIE star, 30, has welcomed a baby sister for son Roman, one, with her fiancé, ex-Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas, 37, who is also dad to daughter Scarlett, 13.
The couple shared the happy news on Instagram.
Posting a black and white photo of their daughter's tiny hand, Lucy simply shared a pink heart emoji.
Lucy and her Coronation Street star beau Ryan, 37, are already parents to son Roman, and are overjoyed to have welcomed a baby girl into their family.
Congratulations have already rolled in for the proud parents following the birth of their second child and first daughter with Towie stars Chloe Lewis and Gemma Collins gushing over Ryan and Lucy's joyful baby news.
It's a big day for little Roman, 2, who got very excited about meeting his little sister during a recent 4D scan.
Lucy recently shared the tender moment with her 1.7m Instagram followers, posting an adorable snap that showed Roman gazing intently at the screen as his unborn sibling was revealed.
Lucy penned: "My baby girl [love heart emoji]. The first time Roman saw his little sister."
The baby girl's first months of life are sure to be very different to her brother's now that Covid rules have been suspended in the UK.
Roman was born just weeks before the first lockdown began, meaning he had to wait a long time to meet a lot of his loved ones.
Lucy has admitted she was convinced she was having a baby girl this time, and was delighted when a scan revealed she was right.
She told HELLO! : "I had an inkling that I was having a girl, but I was a bit more unsure than with Roman. With him I just knew – I don't know why but even before we found out, I said: 'I know, one hundred per cent, it's a boy'."
Ryan and Lucy, who've been loved up since meeting on Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls in 2017, also said in their joint interview that they were struggling to settle on a name for their baby girl.
They'd had 15 picked out and decided to wait until they'd met her to pick whichever one suited her best.
"Nothing in the world beats that moment when you hold your baby for the first time," Lucy gushed.
