Charlotte Crosby gives birth to beautiful baby girl as she becomes mum for first time

Charlotte Crosby has given birth to a healthy baby girl.

The former Geordie Shore star, 31, only announced that she was pregnant in the middle of April, after weeks of speculation from fans and followers.

But in a post on social media early on Saturday morning, we learned that the Tynesider had become a mum for the first time.

Charlotte's dad Gary shared the exciting news on Twitter earlier this morning.

He wrote: "So, officially a grand father! Little girl, all is well. Excited for the new chapter in our little family"

Charlotte and boyfriend Jake Ankers are now proud parents after they started dating last year following her split rom Liam Beaumont in August.

Previously, she had recalled how she thought "f**k, I'm not gonna be able to have kids" after she nearly died when doctors discovered she had been internally bleeding for a week after her fallopian tube was split open and had to remove right fallopian tube and ovary.

In her pregnancy announcement video a few weeks ago, Charlotte broke down in tears as she shared her exciting news with her mother Letitia, while her dad told Jake he had "never seen my daughter so happy".

She said "And, like, you just know when you know, don't you?

"That it's the right person... when we were away this weekend we were talking [and saying],

"'It's just so nice that Charlotte's happy and she's settled and we know this is probably going to be the right one."

"I've never known her so happy, Jake," her dad added.

The happy news came six years after Charlotte suffered a devastating ectopic pregnancy, which she admitted that she could have died from.

Charlotte suffered through the ectopic pregnancy – which occurs when a fetus begins to develop outside of the womb – after her split from co-star and on-off boyfriend Gary Beadle.

Last month, the star opened up about her turbulent pregnancy journey and admitted she doesn't feel like she's having a baby after her mum was diagnosed with cancer.

After finding out about Letitia's cancer, Charlotte has since been accompanying her to chemotherapy.

She revealed her mum's diagnosis has affected her experience with the pregnancy, revealing she hasn't had "time to think about it".

"With my mum going through chemotherapy and spending over six hours in hospital with her per day, I've got to try to put all the baby business to the back of my mind. I've got zero time to think about it.

"It just doesn't feel like I'm having a baby. But at the same time, it feels like I've been pregnant for an eternity," she told new magazine.

The Geordie Shore alum also added she has a lot of things happening in her life that she doesn't "have time to be nervous about giving birth".

Letitia previously explained how she found it difficult to tell her daughter about her cancer so soon after hearing about the pregnancy.

Speaking to The Sun, the 53-year-old said: "We had so many things to look forward to so telling her I had cancer when she was pregnant was so hard."
