Sam Faiers has given birth to a baby girl!

The Only Way Is Essex star and her partner Paul Knightley, who are already parents to son Paul, are proud parents once again.

Reality favourite Sam gave birth this week just days after her red carpet appearance at the ITV Gala on Thursday evening.

Her representative told the MailOnline: “Samantha and Paul are delighted to welcome a baby girl into the world, both mother and baby are doing well.”

Sam announced she was expecting her second child to fans in July this year, sharing a picture of her baby bump on social media.

She wrote at the time: “Words can’t describe how excited we are to meet you baby. We love you so much already. #babynumber2 #2under2.”

And, now the couple we have expanded their family, we may hear the sound of wedding bells for Sam and Paul in the future as she has been thinking about her wedding.

She previously told Metro: “I have some ideas. You know how women have some idea of what they want their wedding to be like.

“I would like it to be an intimate wedding, abroad. I do see myself on a beach.”

Congratulations!
