Charlotte Crosby's dad Gary gives fans first glimpse of baby Alba Jean

After being the one to announce her arrival to the world last month, Charlotte Crosby's dad Gary has now given fans a first glimpse of his new granddaughter Alba Jean.

Gary, who has starred in daughter Charlotte's MTV series The Charlotte Show, announced the little one's birth to his followers on Twitter in late October, writing: "Posting on Twitter, Gary, who has been seen in his daughter's MTV series The Charlotte Show, wrote: "So, officially a grand father! Little girl, all is well. Excited for the new chapter in our little family."

Geordie Shore star Charlotte has been rather sparse with updates on her new arrival, posting a short update from hospital the day after she was born, revealing her name and giving her millions of Instagram fans a first look at Alba Jean's nursery. And it's her dad who's delighted fans once again, this time by sharing a photo of the baby girl wrapped up in his arms.

Posting the very sweet selfie online, he wrote: "'Getting the old skills back Pop-Pop. #Granddaughter." Gary's wife and Charlotte's mam, Letitia was one of the first people to comment on the post, writing: "Cannot believe you got first baby sitting duties if I honest but we new she was in good hands."

Letitia, who was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, was left devastated after Alba Jean's birth as she took the decision not to to see her granddaughter, due to the risk it could pose to her chemotherapy

One of Gary's followers responded to the "Aww what a lovely pic. Congrats to you all. You and Letitia will be the best grandparents. Sending you all lots of love."

Another fan replied: "Awww look at grandad...this photo is so cute!"
