The 36-year-old star - who is the daughter of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan - commented: "Congratulations guys we love you so much." Strictly Come Dancing's Fleur East shared: "Awww welcome to the world Barney! Congratulations Emily." Ruth Langsfrod added: "Congratulations….what a beauty! So happy for you both."

Emily first announced her pregnancy in December. The actress and comedian - who rose to fame as Charlotte Hinchcliffe in 'The Inbetweeners' - shared the news via an Instagram post.

She wrote at the time: "I've never been so happy and utterly terrified at the same time. Every day is mixed with thrill, fear, joy, hysteria, topped off with a lot of vomiting - a bit like when you've just stepped off of the Oblivion at Alton Towers on a hangover."

"I've got to know my body on such an insane level. It's made me appreciate the one I've been given so much, I'm doing my absolute best to make it a home for the little squid I'm growing."

"We can already sense the baby is reclined on a mattress of peanut butter and jam sandwiches in there, demanding more chocolate buttons. I'm so happy to be writing all of this to you all. You've always stuck by me through the years - do stick around to watch me enter my mum era."
