The baby was born at 5pm on Tuesday, weighing 6lb 9oz. Dani's mother, Jill Harmer, told Hello magazine: 'Mother and baby are doing well - the baby is beautiful like her mother!'

Dani previously spoke about her pregnancy, saying she and Simon were 'over the moon' when they found out they were expecting. She said: 'I still wake up every morning and go, 'I'm pregnant.' It was amazing seeing the scan. I find the whole thing absolutely fascinating.'
