Revealing the newborn's name, she continued: "Please say hello to Nicholas Peter Nimmo. Thank you for completing our family and our world. Love Mummy, Daddy & Harry."

Michelle shared the caption alongside an image of baby Nicholas sleeping while dressed in a cute blue and white outfit.

Her first son, Harry, was born at the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital in Glasgow, shortly before lockdown in January 2020.

In November, the singer announced she was expecting a second child with Jeff - who she tied the knot with in 2017 in a stunning ceremony held in the Scottish Highlands.

Announcing that she was expecting in November 2021, the Pop Idol winner posted a picture on Instagram of her with husband Jeff Harry, alongside the caption: "Harry playing peekaboo with mummy, daddy and bump, baby Nimmo number two due early 2022."

Scottish star Michelle found fame on Pop Idol, more than 17 years ago, when she was 23 years old.

Michelle won the second and final series of Pop Idol in 2003 and has since gone on to carve out a successful career as a singer and TV presenter.
