Jess Wright moved fans with a beautiful message following the birth of her brother Josh's first child.
The pregnant ex-TOWIE star - sister of former co-star Mark - posed a gorgeous snap of herself cradling the little boy, who was born one month early, and her bump as she spoke about her excitement for the cousins to grow up together.
Footballer Josh, 32, and wife Hollie welcomed their little one four weeks early and said he was the "perfect little boy".
Sharing the news on Instagram with some adorable pictures, Josh wrote: "OUR BABY BOY 00.55 am 22.2.22 5lbs 9
"A complete surprise and unexpected arrival earlier in the week that has truly changed our lives for the better and forever. It’s taken us time to post and share our special angel because of how shocked and overwhelmed we have been but I don’t say this lightly “he is truly the best thing that has ever happened to us and the proudest moment of my lifetime”.
"I love and care for him more than words can explain and I simply never realised, knew or understood the feeling I got the minute he arrived and will never be able to explain it."
He added: "My wife Hollie is a warrior, hero, superstar and soldier to say a few and the journey we went on this week is one that will live in our minds everyday for the rest our lives and I can’t thank her enough for producing our wonderful son.
"4 weeks early but 4 more weeks of loving my new best friend that I can’t wait to see grow into a fit, healthy, happy gentleman that I will try to guide through life just like my Mum and Dad as well as family did with me.
"Welcome to the world son I promise to be the best Dad there possibly could be. Love you unconditionally and all I have left to say is THANK YOU"
Jess was quick to celebrate the arrival of her nephew, who she's hoping will be best friends with her little boy, who she is due to welcome with husband William Lee-Kemp.
