Newsreader Kate Silverton and her husband Mike Heron have welcomed their second child, a baby boy.
The 43-year-old, who doubted that she would ever have children after losing an ovary during an operation to remove a cyst at the age of 29, took to Twitter to make the announcement.
She wrote: “Yes just to say our little boy was born in the early hours of Thursday weighing 8lbs 3oz – we are just home and all very well indeed”.
The new arrival, who has been named Wilbur Silverton-Heron, is the second child for the couple who tied the knot in 2010. They also have a two-year-old daughter called Clemency.
Kate Silverton gave birth on Thursday.
