Dancing On Ice star Brianne Delcourt says giving birth to baby was best 40th present

Dancing On Ice's Brianne Delcourt welcomed her second child on her 40th birthday - and she says it's the 'best present ever'.

The Canadian professional skater and her husband Kevin Kilbane may have only been together for 18 months since meeting on the show, but they've just welcomed another daughter together.

Their second-born, Olivia Mai Kilbane, arrived on February 3 - the day after Brianne celebrated her milestone birthday.

The doting mum-of-two said she wanted to have Olivia naturally after having an emergency C-section with daughter Gracie, but it didn't work out that way.

"I ended up going over my due date, so they scheduled a C-section," she told OK! Magazine about the birth.

She continued: "It was supposed to be on 1 February, which was Kevin's birthday, then 2 February, which was my 40th, and then it was 3 February.

"It was the best 40th birthday present ever!"

The proud parents announced the exciting arrival on Instagram, with Brianne posting a touching snap for her followers.

She posted a heartwarming photo of baby Olivia grasping onto her hand, writing: "Olivia Mai. Born at 8:30am, February 3rd 2021. Weighing 6'11.

"We love you so much and Gracie has never been more excited to get a baby sister and bestie for life."

The pair revealed they were both 'emotional' when their second child was born and Brianne admitted it was 'amazing' to see Kevin bond so well with their newborn daughter.

The skater said she feels like she can 'take on the world' with Kevin by her side.

The power couple have been together since October 2019, when they first fell for each other on the ITV competition.

They went on to get married in September 2020, shortly after buying a home together in Canada.

Congratulations, Brianne and Kevin!
