Ferne McCann has announced the happy news that she has given birth to her first child with fiancée Lorri Haines.

Announcing the news on Instagram this weekend, the reality star shared a sweet black and white video of her newborn, writing: “It’s a girl 06.07.23.”

Lorri then commented of the post, saying: “Our baby girl proud of you.”

Ferne first announced she was expecting the couple’s child back in March and at the time, the 32 year old revealed she discovered she was pregnant while on a romantic holiday to India, saying she “just knew” something was different.

The two got engaged last July after six months of dating.

While this is the couple’s first child together, they separately have children from previous relationships.

Ferne is mum to five year old girl Sunday who she shares with ex Arthur Collins while Lorris is dad to a six year old son.

Earlier this year, Ferne bravely opened up about suffering a miscarriage before her welcoming this pregnancy.

During her new show, First Time Mum, Ferne opened up about the heartbreaking loss.

Ferne and Lorri explained that everything came crashing down after their engagement. The couple decided to attend therapy together to help their relationship.

The mum said, “It’s the emotional support I’ve received from him in recent times.

“We’ve had a lot of stress as a couple and I feel hugely responsible for that.”

She continued, “He’s really shown up for me and just been there through the chaos and the absolute whirlwind.”

Ferne said she found out she was pregnant shortly after their engagement, but suffered a miscarriage early on.

“And then, very early on, I, erm, we had a miscarriage as well,” the mum said as she fought back the tears.

“When I was about five weeks, I started bleeding,” she shared.
