Gogglebox's Pete Sandiford announces arrival of daughter as fans gush over adorable name

Gogglebox fans were introduced to the hit show's newest star after making their TV debut during Friday's series finale.

The episode may have been the final one of series 21 before the summer break, but it ended on a joyful note after Pete Sandiford shared the news of becoming a dad for a second time during Friday's instalment.

Pete and wife Paige were already proud parents to son Jimmy and moments before the show ended, viewers got a look at his newborn daughter as he revealed her adorable name on the show.

While sister Sophie, who he regularly joins on the Channel 4 reality show, was putting on a load of laundry in the washing, he shouted: "Hey Sophie, did I tell you Evie's full name? She's going to be Evie Sylvie Sandiford."

Sophie instantly gave her approval to the name as she shouted from the other room: "Oh I love it!"

The happy couple first announced they were expecting their second child back in December in the same episode as Ellie Warner announced she was going to become a first time mum.

In the adorable clip, Pete told his son Jimmy that he is set to become a big brother.

He joked: "Jimbers, you're going to have a little brother or sister coming. You're going to have to milk it."

Ellie also shared her baby news on Friday as she opened the show by introducing son Ezra, alongside sister Izzi.

The much-loved TV star has kept silent on social media in recent weeks as fans speculated that she had already given birth, but the new mum waited to share the wonderful news while sitting on her famous Gogglebox couch.

Taking to social media, Ellie confirmed the arrival of little Ezra with boyfriend Nat Eddleston during the show's final episode of the series.

"Sweet baby Ezra. He has made our lives complete. We love you so much son," she wrote on Instagram.

Fans of the show were quick to reaction to the heartwarming news.

One fan wrote: "Aww @Petesandiford’s wife has had their baby too. Absolutely beautiful name. Many congratulations."

A second viewer penned: "Congratulations to Pete and Paige Sandiford on the birth of baby Evie."

A third person said: "What a lovely start and finish to Gogglebox tonight! Congratulations to Ellie on the birth of her son, and to Pete on the birth of his daughter."
