Captioning the photo on Instagram, Chloe wrote: "23rd July 2022, our beautiful daughter made her entrance into the world and we are in the biggest baby love bubble you can imagine.

Sue shared the photo onto her on social medias, expressing her joy and excitement at becoming a grandmother again. The mum-of-22 wrote: "So proud of Chloe and Jake, she’s a little beauty, can’t wait to meet her."

Fans flocked to Chloe's Instagram comments to share their congratulations, with popstar Louis Tomlinson's sisters joining in on the act. Daisy Tomlinson wrote: "congratulations beautiful family", while sister Phoebe Tomlinson left a bunch of love-heart eye emojis under the post.
