Jack Whitehall has welcomed his first child with his girlfriend Roxy Horner. The couple had previously announced that they were expecting a baby girl, and are yet to reveal her name.

Sharing the happy news in a sweet post on Instagram, the 35-year-old comedian shared the first photos of his daughter and wrote: 'Well this just happened! Utterly overwhelming and joyous in ways I couldn't have even imagined.

'In awe of my partner @roxyhorner who has been amazing throughout this journey and is going to be the greatest mum ever. So excited to have started a family of my own. Having vowed I’d never be that guy I am now 100% going to be the parent that shows everyone endless pictures of their kid.

'I also wore skechers to hospital, I think I must accept I am a full blown dad now.'

Jack ended the post by joking about his newborn baby's name, adding: 'Name wise after this weekend I think 'rice, rice, baby' has a nice ring to it.'

The post was met with thousands of congratulatory messages from fans and fellow famous faces. Dr Alex George wrote: 'Congratulations.' Dwayne Johnson commented: 'Rock, DJ, Dwayne or Dwanette...all amazing names! Congratulations brother to you and amazing mama!!'

One person said: 'Aww congratulations to you both, welcome to the world baby Whitehall.' Someone else added: 'Huge congratulations to you both! What a lovely family you have.'

Another person wrote: 'Can't wait for all the embarrassing things you'll be saying in stand-up in the years to come.'

Jack has been in a relationship with 32-year-old model Roxy since 2020. The pair announced the news that they were expecting their baby back in May, by sharing a sweet black and white snap with a baby scan.

Roxy revealed the gender of their baby on Steph's Packed Lunch in June. She said: "We are having a little girl. We have thought of some names, but I feel like there are none that are really sticking out."

Congratulations to Jack and Roxy!
