The excitement started when Lawler posted a picture on Instagram showing her in hospital, with a message saying that it was 11 days before her due date and four days ahead of the planned birth but that “little Nuchky is ready to meet us”.
“It’s finally happening!” she added.
Martin later updated fans on his Instagram, saying he was sorry for the “radio silence”.
“Hi everyone, sorry for the radio silence, it’s been a loooooooong day," he wrote, alongside a picture of him in a mask.
"Nuchky is fine, fit and healthy, as is Kate.
“We had a bit of complication but Nuchky is ok and on the quick mend and will be with us tomorrow, all being good.”
He added in another post: “@thekatelawer is absolutely pooped so I’ve left her to get some sleep and I’m going to try and get some shut eye myself.
"Nuchky is gorgeous and has lots of hair which make me think Kate definitely has a hairy lover out there."
Saying it had been an “overwhelming day”, Martin added: “I’m glad to see she has about 2000,000 aunties ready to march for her if she ever needs help."
Lawler found fame when she won Big Brother in 2002.
