The Voice’s Emma Willis - and her McBusted hubby, Matt - have welcomed a beautiful baby girl on earlier this week.

The name of the newborn is Trixie Grace - which we think is just PERFECT for the couple’s third baby!

Emma took to Twitter to thank fans for everyone’s well wishes upon the arrival of the newest addition to the Willis family, making reference to 'Star Wars Day' as Trixie Grace was born on May 4.

She tweeted: “Thank you so much for all your lovely messages. Trixie arrived in the world on Wednesday. May the 4th be with her indeed!”

And it seems as though both Matt and his daughter Trixie will be sharing some birthday parties from now on, as the little one was born just days before Matt’s birthday on May 8.

Matt took to Twitter to share his excitement about having another child around for his birthday, saying: “What an amazing day! 33 today and Was sat at home in the sun with my wife and 3 kids! Perfect! Welcome to earth Trixie Grace.”

Aww!

A source close to the couple has revealed to The Sun that "They couldn't be more made up and are enjoying precious time together as a family".

Emma managed to keep her pregnancy a secret for months before she confirmed the news to the public, which means that she was able to focus on hosting Celebrity Big Brother 2016 and The Voice.

An insider told The Sun at the time: “Emma and Matt are thrilled.

“It’s something they’ve been talking about for some time. But there will have to be compromises as the baby will come at a time when they’re both super busy."

They continued: “Emma has major commitments to The Voice and Big Brother, which she’d obviously like to honour, and Matt has been fully focusing on making Busted’s comeback go well.

“They know they’ll make it work. They’re used to juggling their family with increasingly busy careers.”

Emma later confirmed the news on Twitter, writing: "Ta very much for all the lovely messages.

"Family Willis is totes over the moon!"

N’aww - we bet they all were, particularly little Isabelle and Ace, who couldn’t WAIT to meet their new sibling.

And yummy mummy Emma is MORE than ready to tackle life with a newborn for the third time - particularly as she feels that having children makes her a better, and stronger, person.

Speaking with Cosmopolitan back in 2014, Emma explained that having children has made her far more confident - and a better TV presenter.

She said: “Things started to go really well for me as soon as I had kids. Sometimes, interviewing people, I would feel so intimidated and nervous.

“But when you’ve had kids it gives you confidence – you think, ‘I’m a mum. I’m not scared. If I can raise a human being, I can f**king do this!’”

Emma, 39, also told Now magazine last year that she was keen to have more children - but that husband Matt wanted to wait.

The CBB host revealed: "I go: 'It'd be nice to have one more. Then Matt goes: 'We've only just started sleeping.'

"So he says no but I say: 'But soon we won't have a baby anymore...'

“I don't know - you don't plan these things."

Despite this, however, Emma did admit that she had found pregnancy tough the third time round.

On This Morning, the pretty 40-year-old said: "I feel good now. I felt horrific for the auditions. I was pretty bad.

"The only person who knew was my make-up artist, I was trying to have every little nap I could. After about 16 weeks I felt OK."

Bless her - we imagine she won’t be getting too many naps in now her little bundle of joy has finally arrived, mind you!

Congratulations once again to Matt and Emma Willis on the birth of their third bubba.
