Katie Piper announces birth of her second daughter with a cute photo
Congratulations
Last updated 16th Dec 2017
Huge congratulations to Katie Piper who has just welcomed her second daughter into the world!
Katie announced the news on her Instagram feed, uploading a beautiful picture showing her hand and that of her newborn baby daughter.
Alongside the picture, Katie wrote, "We’ve been blessed with the safe arrival of a baby girl. Our family is now complete 🌸👶🏾"
Fans of the TV presenter and activist will know that Katie already has a daughter, three-year-old Belle Elizabeth Piper, with her husband Richard, who she married in 2015.
And although the couple have made the decision to try and shield their daughter from the limelight, Katie often posts sweet pictures of Belle on her Instagram, always careful to shield her face.
Katie was recently the face of Pampers' Thank You Midwife campaign. Talking about her experience with NHS midwives, she said, "I’m so thankful for the amazing midwives helping me prepare for my second child.
"Just like with my first little girl, my midwives go above and beyond the call of duty – it made me really sad to hear they feel undervalued.
"I want to say thank you to them all as no question was ever too silly or request too much."
Congratulations to Katie and Richard on their new arrival.
