Holly Hagan-Blyth has shared the emotional significance behind her newborn daughter's name. The reality TV star and her husband, Jacob Blyth, welcomed their second child last week, a baby girl named Madison-Darci. The name pays heartfelt tribute to Holly's younger sister, Darci Rose Gibson, who tragically passed away last year at the age of 19 after suffering a cardiac arrest on a night out in Manchester. It was later discovered that Darci's drink had been spiked with crystal MDMA. She died 48 hours after falling ill.

Holly and Jacob revealed the sweet news of Madison's name alongside an adorable picture of the newborn lying in her crib at home, with her name stitched into a knitted babygro. The post garnered an outpouring of love from friends and fans. Scarlett Moffatt commented, "Beautiful name for a beautiful little girl, huge congratulations."
