Ali Bastian has given birth to her second child.
The former Hollyoaks star, has shared the happy news with fans.
The 40-year-old welcomed a baby girl on Saturday 11 February 2023 with fellow actor husband with David O'Mahony.
Ali was already mum to daughter Isla, 23 months, and revealed she was expecting her second child in September 2023, when she was already 20 weeks pregnant.
During her birth announcement, Ali said that her first daughter is the "proudest big sister" and that the family are enjoying the "fourth trimester together".
She said that she will be updating her fans with more news soon.
Speaking to OK!, Ali said: "She’s arrived! David and I welcomed our beautiful little girl into the world last Saturday.
"Isla is the proudest big sister! Our little family are snuggling in together for her fourth trimester and will be back with more news soon!"
As Ali announced the exciting news, she explained how they told daughter Isla that she was going to be a big sister.
She said: "Isla came into our room one morning and we were having snuggles. I said to David over her head, ‘I think we should tell her now’ and he agreed.
"I said, 'Have you noticed that mummy’s tummy has been getting bigger?' and she said 'Yes!' I said, 'I’ve got a baby in my tummy.' And then there was this big smile across her face.
"I wish we had captured that, it was magical, I’ll never forget it. She understood. I said, 'You are going to be a big sister' and her face lit up."
Ali has been keeping her fans updated on her pregnancy since she first announced she was expecting a second child.
In her last post of 2022 she said: "Happy NY. Hope you all have a lovely evening whatever you are planning. We are very much in hibernation mode and fairly sure I won’t be awake at midnight …
"In my 34th week now…. Eeeeek!! It’s flying. Cannot wait to meet you baby girl (but WILL wait another few weeks, so you can please stay just where you are for now!)"
She added: "Still feel like I have so much preparation to do and all I want to do is sleep and eat. Wish you all the love, luck and happiness in the world for ‘23."
