Former X-Factor star Rebecca Ferguson has given birth to a baby after successfully concealing her pregnancy from fans.

The singer shared a cute snap of the newborn’s arm under the caption: “Surprise! Turns out I can keep a secret. Born on Valentines Day.”

She continued to keep the name and gender of the baby under wraps.

The newborn is her fourth child. She is already mum to Lillie, 18, Karl, 16, and eight-year-old Arabella.

She married Hughes at her “dream venue” The Dorchester in December.

The 36-year-old told Hello!: “Years ago when I was starting out, I’d get the Megabus from Liverpool to London. It was cheap as chips. We used to drive past Park Lane.

“It was inspirational for me because I’d be looking at The Dorchester, thinking, ‘One day I’ll get to stay there.’ It was a dream come true for me to get married there.”

Ferguson has had a number of hits including Nothing’s Real But Love, Backtrack and I Hope, according to Official Charts.

All her albums, 2011’s Heaven, 2013’s Freedom, 2015’s Lady Sings The Blues and 2016’s Superwoman have made it into the top 10.
