Sile Seoige 'euphoric' after giving birth to second child as she reveals name with adorable picture

Sile Seoige has said she is "beyond thankful" as she announced the birth of her second child with fiancé Damien O'Farrell.

The TV presenter welcomed her newborn baby girl to the world on Thursday.

She revealed the news in a post on Instagram on Sunday while sharing an adorable snap of their daughter Clíodhna.

The couple, who share a four-year-old son called Cathal, are "euphoric" and "beyond thankful", she said.

Sile wrote: "There is so much I want to say but I don't know where to start!

"So simply put...Clíodhna, our baby daughter arrived into the world on Thursday the 11th of November in a bit of a hurry but I still (luckily) had the birth I had hoped for, with Damien by my side every step of the way.

"We're so thankful for an incredible birth team in @thecoombehospital our wonderful consultant Professor Deirdre Murphy and midwives Rachel and Dara for believing in me and empowering me to have the birth experience I was hoping for.

"Shout out to perineal massage too for a quick recovery post birth.

"We arrived home yesterday and Cathal has taken to the role of big brother brilliantly.

"Trying to soak up every euphoric and exhausting second while we can and feeling beyond thankful that she's here."

The Galway native revealed in June that she and Cathal, who got engaged in 2018, were "beyond happy" to announce they were expecting their second child.

The broadcaster was praised earlier this year for her emotional TG4 documentary on miscarriage.

'Sile Seoige: Deireadh Tochta' aired in April and revealed her fertility struggles and the heartache of losing two babies.
