Gogglebox star Pete Sandiford introduced viewers to his new arrival on Friday night's show as he became a proud dad of two.

The fan favourite on the Channel 4 programme left fans gushing as he showed off his baby daughter on the series finale.

Pete gave a look at his newborn as he revealed her sweet name whilst talking to his sister Sophie.

As she was out of the room he called out: "Hey Sophie, did I tell you Evie's full name? She's going to be Evie Sylvie Sandiford."

Sophie could be heard shouting from the other room: "Oh I love it!"

Pete welcomed Evie with his wife Paige, who were already happy parents to son Jimmy.

The name has an adorable meaning, which is sure to set Evie up for her future.

Her first name has Australian origin and means "life" or "woman who enjoys life", according to The Bump.

It can be short for lots of girl's names including Eva, Evelyn, and Evangeline.

Whilst Evie's middle name, Sylvie means "forest" and has Latin origin.

The happy couple first announced they were expecting their second child back in December in the same episode as co-star Ellie Warner announced she was going to become a first time mum.

Pete told his son Jimmy that he is set to become a big brother.

He joked: "Jimbers, you're going to have a little brother or sister coming. You're going to have to milk it."

Ellie also shared her baby news on Friday as she opened the show by introducing son Ezra, alongside sister Izzi.

The much-loved TV star has kept silent on social media in recent weeks as fans speculated that she had already given birth, but the new mum waited to share the wonderful news while sitting on her famous Gogglebox couch.

Ellie confirmed the arrival of little Ezra with boyfriend Nat Eddleston during the show's final episode of the series.

"Sweet baby Ezra. He has made our lives complete. We love you so much son," she wrote on Instagram.
