She is married to Jeff Nimmo and already had one son, reports the Mirror.

Sharing the news on Twitter on Tuesday, she penned: "Goodbye January although I don’t know how any other month this year could top you as you’re the month we welcomed the newest addition to our family."

Revealing the newborn's name, she continued: "Please say hello to Nicholas Peter Nimmo. Thank you for completing our family and our world. Love Mummy, Daddy & Harry."

Michelle treated her followers by uploading a photo of little Nicholas sleeping while dressed in a cute blue and white outfit.

In November, the singer announced she was expecting a second child with Jeff - who she tied the knot with in 2017 in a stunning ceremony held in the Scottish Highlands.

She posted a sweet picture alongside her husband Jeff Nimmo and son Harry as she made the announcement over Twitter.

Michelle - who became a mum for the first time after welcoming Harry in February 2020 - said that ‘baby Nimmo no2’ is due in early 2020 and that the family can't wait to become a four.

She told fans the wonderful news on social media - and said the baby is only a few months away. The singer captioned the photo: "Harry playing peekaboo with Mummy, Daddy and bump.

Scottish star Michelle found fame on Pop Idol, more than 17 years ago, when she was 23 years old.

The show was hosted by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly and Michelle took the crown on the singing contest as she beat rival Mark Rhodes - of Sam and Mark fame - to glory.

After winning the show, Michelle released her debut album The Meaning Of Love but her second album was never released.
