Huge congratulations are in order for former Big Brother winner Josie Gibson, who has revealed she's given birth to her first child! The 33-year-old, who won the show in 2010, announced on her Instagram that she gave birth at the weekend after her waters broke at her baby shower.

Sharing an emotional post on her social media page, Josie - who has chosen not to reveal the identity of her partner - hinted that she'd suffered a slightly traumatic birth as her baby, a little boy, needed to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after being born.

Revealing she'd named her little boy Reggie-James, Josie wrote, 'Apologies to all those people I have yet to thank and get back to. I have been in a crazy little bubble and not really with it. My waters broke at my Baby shower last Wednesday and one thing lead to another.... we are delighted to announce we have a beautiful very little baby boy with the loveliest little soul.

'He came out of the Sunroof on Sunday 09/09/2018 (love his birth date) at 6.35 by the best surgeons and @ruhbath staff. I always felt in super safe hands. We have since been staying at the @dyson NICU ward at @ruhbath where the nurses and midwives have been super heroes.

'I watch them every day, how dedicated, passionate and busy they work on their 12 hour shifts and it puts me to shame. They are truly amazing. I would like to Thank Mr @dyson and his family for helping build such an amazing NICU ward. What a lovely lovely man and what a legacy. Reggie-James will be home soon enough. Thank you.' sic
