"Both mother and daughter are doing very well. The couple would like to thank the brilliant NHS maternity team for all their care and support.”

The as yet unnamed baby arrives into the world less than two years after Carrie gave birth to son Wilfred, at the height of the Covid pandemic and, after she revealed she'd suffered a miscarriage earlier this year.
Speaking about her pregnancy, Carrie said: Hoping for our rainbow baby this Christmas.
"At the beginning of the year, I had a miscarriage which left me heartbroken. I feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant again but I've also felt like a bag of nerves."
