TOWIE star Ferne McCann gives birth to baby girl and shares adorable first pic

Ferne McCann has given birth to a baby girl.

Taking to social media this evening, the former TOWIE star shared the happy news with her followers on Instagram.

Captioned a black and white video of her new bundle of joy, Ferne, 32, wrote: "It's a girl. 06.07.23"

It's reality TV star's first child with fiancé Lorri Haines. Ferne also shares daughter Sunday with jailed ex Arthur Collins.

Lorri commented underneath his future wife's post this afternoon, writing: "Our baby girl [love heart emojis] prod of you."

In the video, Ferne, Lorri and Sunday can be seen placing their hands on the new addition to their family, with the baby's face remaining off camera.

As the new mum-of-two announced the birth of her second child on Instagram, fans and famous friends rushed to congratulate Ferne and Lorri.

Former TOWIE star Jess Wright was one of the first to comment on the sweet video, simply writing: "Congratulations."

Prior to giving birth earlier this week, Ferne admitted she was keen to film the birth of her second child for her ITV2 series, but confessed partner Lorri wasn't too sure. The mum-of-two has documented her experience with motherhood over recent years with multiple series of First Time Mum.

"I really want my birth on the show. I want to have that moment," Ferne told OK! magazine. "We’re currently in discussions with Lorri because obviously before when I was pregnant with Sunday, it was just me as a single parent. I never had to deliberate or liaise with anyone, I just made my own decisions."

The then pregnant star added: "But now obviously doing this experience with him, I do have to cross things past him, so we’re currently in discussions, but I just want to capture that moment."

Earlier this year, Ferne opened up about her second pregnancy and how special it was, having gone through her first one alone due to splitting with Sunday's father before giving birth.

Ferne was pregnant when she split from Arthur after he was arrested for throwing acid into a crowd in an East London nightclub in 2017. She has since raised Sunday alone. However, in the last year, she met and fell in love with Lorri. The pair are now engaged.

"I feel really good. I feel really, really good," a then pregnant Ferne told the Mirror in March. "There's definitely a lot of similarities – if I cast my mind back because it feels like such a long time ago when I was pregnant with Sunday – in how I'm feeling physically."

She added: "I'm gonna be honest, and I feel really lucky saying this, but I don't even feel pregnant right now – apart from obviously there's a growing bump and there's a few flutters and movements but no, I don't. I feel like really like full of energy.

"Obviously the first trimester I was so, so tired and I was feeling a little bit sick – nothing to really write home about but I felt like I was in hibernating mode because it was all over Christmas and January."

She added: "I'm just really pleased that it's out there now and we can celebrate it because I feel like I've just been covering up for such a long time. It's really exciting.

"And, obviously, the difference this time round is that I'm doing it with someone and that feels really special.

"Just go into the scans with Laurie and we've both got children already, so that's a whole new dynamic, it's just been really fun so far."
