Lucy Mecklenburgh has given birth to her second child with actor Ryan Thomas.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star had a baby girl, more than a week after her due date.
The 30-year-old announced the news on Instagram, sharing a black and white photograph of the baby's fingers in front of a rabbit embroidered with the words "Baby Thomas".
The couple already have a two-year-old son, Roman.
Mecklenburgh captioned the photograph with a love heart, and friends, including fellow former Towie star Chloe Lewis and Love Islander Olivia Bowen, sent their congratulations.
Roman was born on March 7 2020 – a couple of weeks before lockdown hit – and Mecklenburgh admitted that being a new mother could be "very lonely" but said social media had helped.
She and 37-year-old Thomas have been in a relationship since 2017 after meeting on Celebrity Island With Bear Grylls.
Thomas, who played Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street from 2000 until 2016, proposed during a holiday in Italy in June 2019.
