Big Brother couple Grace and Mikey welcome fourth child and reveal unique name
They met on the 2006 series!
They met back in 2006 on hit Channel 4 show Big Brother, and despite many thinking it was a 'showmance' at the time, Grace Adams-Short and Mikey Dalton have proved their doubters wrong, getting married and starting a family together over the years.
Now, the happy couple have announced they've welcomed their fourth child together, a baby boy called Atticus Henry Dalton.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, the couple revealed Grace gave birth to baby Atticus on 3rd January, with their son weighing a healthy 9lb, 6oz.
Grace, who appeared on the 2006 series of Big Brother alongside the likes of Imogen Thomas, Pete Bennett and Glyn Wise, also revealed her pregnancy was a lot 'tougher' than her previous three, due to being diagnosed with a rare condition.
The 36-year-old told the publication: "I had to be induced early as I had a condition called anti-C, which can cause complications with the baby’s antibodies. I never had it with my other pregnancies, it was stressful. All through the pregnancy I had to give blood every two weeks."
The pair also revealed baby Atticus will be their last, with Mikey jokingly adding: “We’ve also got the dog too, so I think we’re complete!”

Grace later added: “We knew we wanted another baby so we started trying but it happened quickly so we were both shocked at how fast it happened. I think Mikey thought there would have been more practising!”
