The couple's new arrival is their first child together, and Frank's third in total. The former Chelsea and West Ham footballer also has two daughters, Isla and Luna, who he shares with his ex-wife Elen Rivas.

Christine and Frank first announced they were expecting their first child together back in May this year. Posting an adorable photo on Instagram, Frank posed alongside his two daughters and Christine, writing, 'We have some exciting news we wanted to share with you. The Lampard family is growing!😀 My gorgeous wife @christinelampard is pregnant and we all couldn’t be happier!!!'. sic

Northern Irish presenter Christine later revealed in an Instagram post that she was feeling 'excited, nervous and grateful'. She re-posted the same photo as Frank and wrote, 'The Lampard family are expanding!! 👶🏻 I feel SO excited, nervous and grateful! The list of emotions is endless 🤗🤗🤗.'

Meanwhile, despite just welcoming her first child into the world, 39-year-old Christine is being hotly tipped to replace Holly Willoughby when she leaves This Morning to co-present I'm A Celebrity alongside Dec Donnelly later in the year.

After a source told The Mirror, “Christine is the natural first choice because she and Phil work so well together both on and off screen. Everyone has their fingers crossed because she’s such a lovely person to work with – and the viewers love her too."

Despite the rumours, nothing has been confirmed by ITV bosses.

Congratulations to Christine and Frank on the birth of their new baby! 👶
