“Welcome to our family Boe Willow Russell,” she wrote. “We love you with all our hearts.”

Her husband shared the same image to his Instagram with the caption: “She is here! Our wonderful girl Boe Willow Russell. We love you with all our hearts.”

It comes after Joanna shared a photo of her bump on Instagram only a couple of months before her due date, writing: “I think my stomach’s popped #notlongnow”.

The couple announced the pregnancy back in August, saying they were expecting a “surprise” fourth child around Christmas time.

They two have been married since 2003 and already have three children – Eva, eight, Kit, six and Noah, five.

The actress played a leading role as Stacey Shipman in the hugely popular sitcom Gavin and Stacey and is also known for playing Just Judy in Love Actually.
