Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby has reportedly given birth to a baby girl.
The 32-year-old announced the exciting news that she was expecting her first child with boyfriend Jake Ankers in April.
Since then, she’s spoken openly about her pregnancy journey, sharing her hopes, joy and excitement – as well as her fears and worries – as she gets ready for their new arrival.
Sharing the happy news on Twitter, Charlotte’s dad Gary penned: ‘So, officially a grand father! Little girl, all is well.
‘Excited for the new chapter in our little family.’

Congratulatory messages filled the comments, with one person writing: ‘Congratulations to you all what lovely news well done @Charlottegshore you so deserve this.’
Someone else added: ‘Congratulations glad to hear she’s well. Hope @Charlottegshore is doing well too x.’
The reality icon previously revealed she was opting for a planned caesarean rather than a natural birth, admitting she wasn’t keen on ‘pushing a baby out of my vagina.’

She wrote: ‘HOSPITAL BAG ❤️ it’s that time 👶🏼.’
‘Me and Jake have been getting our bags together! I’m having a planned section so we have date and time of the arrival of our little girl! 💕 so we have now officially packed our bags!’
The excited mum-to-be added: ‘CAN YOU GUYS GUESS HOW MANY DAYS WE HAVE LEFT?!? Guess in comments!’

It comes after she suffered a devastating ectopic pregnancy in 2016 which left her struggling with post-traumatic stress, and she underwent surgery to remove her fallopian tube.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk in a previous interview, she explained that she was forced to confront her fertility when she hadn’t really thought about it before.
‘I’d never really thought seriously about having children and starting a family and getting pregnant, but I did after the operation,’ she said.

‘I was all of a sudden so scared that it would be harder for me, would it even happen for me. But the doctor did reassure me that I would be able to have children.
‘I can have a family as big as I want.’
Charlotte and Jake met through mutual friends and started dating at the end of last year, before making their romance Instagram official in January.
Metro.co.uk has approached Charlotte’s reps.
