Rachel Riley has given birth to her first child.
The 33-year-old star and her husband Pasha Kovalev have welcomed a baby girl into the world, and the little one had to be delivered in her bathroom a fortnight after the due date.
Sharing a touching photo on social media, she tweeted: "2 weeks after we were expecting her this little one finally made an appearance!
"Miss Maven (one who understands) Aria (lioness) Riley Kovaleva arrived on Sunday morning weighing in at 7lbs 4.
"After keeping us waiting she came so quickly we didn’t have a chance to get to the hospital and was born in our bathroom with our amazing doula and wonderful St Mary’s midwives rushing over to be with us in to be nick of time!
"She’s absolutely perfect and Pasha and I are in newborn bliss. Couldn’t be more in love. (sic)"
The pair tied the knot in June this year, and Rachel previously revealed they were "really excited" to become parents for the first time.
She said: "Pasha and I are honestly really excited. It’s scary and exciting all at the same time. Our parents are over the moon and so are our friends.
"I’ve got babies coming out of my ears at the moment, three of my best friends are pregnant. So I’ve got good, sensible friends who I trust to talk things through with and get advice."
The ‘Countdown’ co-host also admitted she wasn’t sure how either of them would cope with having to be the "strict" parent.
She said: "I don’t think either of us will be a disciplinarian. I think we might have a shock in store when the little one’s drawing with crayons all over the wall. It’s quite possible our little one is going to have both of us wrapped around their little finger!"
