Sam Quek gives birth to second baby with husband Tom Mairs as she shares adorable photo

Sam Quek has given birth to her second baby with husband Tom Mairs.

The 33-year-old, who was announced as a new host for the BBC's Morning Live in January, became pregnant just seven months after the birth of her daughter Molly.

Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: "There are 4 of us now…"

A sweet black and white photo she shared with the publication shows the family's hands reaching out to each other, with the baby's tiny fingers clasping onto one of hers.

Just a day after hosting Morning Live with Gethin Jones, Sam went into labour on Friday before giving birth.

It comes after Sam told the Mirror last month that she had to "toughen up" after receiving online abuse from trolls.

Sam – who won Olympic gold with the Team GB hockey team at Rio in 2016 – explained that she found it tough to forget the trolls who targeted her just days after she suffered a miscarriage.

She said: “I have had the maddest things written about me but there was a really terrible one when I was presenting a football show on Radio 1.

“I said something along the lines of ‘ FA Cup replays should be got rid of.’ A lot of people disagreed with me and agreed. But the people that disagreed went really hard and I had some awful, awful things including a death threat.

“But what they didn’t realise is I had my miscarriage two days before that show and I wasn’t in a great place.

“I’d gone into work because I just wanted to try and distract myself. I hadn’t really digested the miscarriage.”

Sam’s heartbreak came at 10 weeks pregnant. She said: “I got really upset but I still did The One Show the next week because I didn’t want people to think if you get abused that you just hide away, because that was not the case.

“Sadly, especially with social media, people have easy access to point things out they don’t agree with or they think are horrible. I’ve had to learn to toughen up and ignore what I read and get a thick skin.

“It’s not been an easy place to get to and it’s taken me years to get there.”
