EastEnders star James Bye welcomes new baby with wife Victoria

EastEnders actor James Bye and his wife Victoria have become parents for a fourth time.

The last we heard about the latter's pregnancy was back in March, when Victoria confirmed the child's sex on social media.

Now, the family have shared the happy news of the safe arrival of their son on Instagram today (June 21), alongside some sweet snaps of their newborn.

Victoria wrote: "Oh baby…. He's here…"

"After a long induction, a long labour, lots of ups & downs & all the drama along the way (oh don't you worry I'll be filling you in on everything…) our hearts are near to bursting with the arrival of our precious baby boy…

"I just can't believe I have him, here, in my arms, safely home and ours to keep for always. It still hasn't sunk in… I'm definitely still in shock and I still can't believe he's mine.

"It's been a long old journey to get him and now as he lays against my chest, whimpering softly, already starting to root for some booby time I feel like I'm the luckiest mama in the land.

"I'm soaking it all in. Letting my hair sit like a birds nest on my head, letting the washing pile up, letting the hours while away as I hold him, and sniff him (oh that smell) because I've waited so long for this moment. And I'm loving every second… xx."

Further along her euphoric message, the mother-of-four revealed that her soap star husband and sons are "all besotted" with their new family member.

"To our friends, family & all of you lovely lot… all of your support & kindness & messages. Well, it's meant the absolute world," she added.

"I'm going to take a few days to cocoon away and let my sleep befuddled brain catch up & then I'll be back with all the details. And ALL the baby spam. Much love… The Byes (all SIX of us!) xxx."

EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
