Joanna Page gives birth to fourth child

Joanna Page has welcomed a baby girl into the world.

The 'Gavin & Stacey' star and her actor husband James Thornton got an early Christmas present as their fourth child, who they've named Boe Willow Russell, has arrived.

Joanna captioned a snap of her cradling the newborn in front of her Christmas tree: "Welcome to our family Boe Willow Russell. We love you with all our hearts."

And James echoed her message: "She is here! Our wonderful girl Boe Willow Russell. We love you with all our hearts."

The 44-year-old actress - who also has Eva, seven, Kit, five, and four-year-old Noah with the 46-year-old former 'Emmerdale' star - recently joked she isn't "going to have any retirement" after announcing her latest pregnancy.

Joanna revealed in the summer that she was due to give birth in December.

Appearing on BBC's 'The One Show', the 'Love Actually' star suggested there's "something in the water" as she pointed out her BBC Radio Wales colleague Alex Jones was also expecting.

Speaking to Alex, she quipped: "I'm still in shock I think! Number four, I mean, well - I said to my husband we're not going to have any retirement, it's sort of going to be children to death.

"I think there's something in the water at BBC Radio Wales, because it's you, me, and Eve Myles all do the morning show."

Earlier that week, Joanna shared their baby news and admitted it came as "a surprise".

She wrote on Instagram: "Well, this is a surprise!! Baby number 4 on the way! It’s going to be a busy Christmas! #pregnant #babyontheway @jamesthornton_ (sic)"

And ex-soap star James wrote: "My wonderful wife @iamjoannapage is pregnant and doesn’t she look amazing!!! We are having baby number 4! #almostafiveasideteam #nosleep (sic)"

Joanna joked: "If we got 3 guinea pigs, another dog and a tortoise we’d be a full football team!"
