Declan, 32, is one of three children from Eamonn's first marriage to Gabrielle Holmes, with whom he also shares a daughter, Rebecca, and another son, Niall.
Eamonn is best known for his presenting work alongside wife Ruth Langsford, with whom he shares his youngest son Jack Alexander Holmes.
Declan's new baby girl is Eamonn's first grandchild, and he couldn't be happier with the family's new arrival.
Yesterday he told This Morning viewers that his son Declan and daughter-in-law Jenny had had welcomed their baby girl.
After announcing the news, the show’s crew applauded as he and Ruth celebrated the happy news.
Eamonn revealed back in April that Declan and Jenny were expecting.
He took to Twitter today to share a photo of newborn Emelia and dad Declan and said: “My first born son with his first born and my first grandchild Emelia. Welcome to the world Emelia. Just call me papa.”
The name “papa” was decided yesterday after his wife, Ruth said on This Morning: “We came up with Grumps, but he wasn’t too keen.”
Eamonn added: “I prefer to be called papa.”
Eamonn received a lot of support and well-wishes from his followers, with one fan, @ElaineEdmond5 tweeting: “Gosh he looks like you Eamonn. Congratulations to you, Ruth and family. So nice to hear such lovely news.”
