Holly Willoughby has given birth to a baby girl named Belle Baldwin.

The ITV presenter, who went into labour on Tuesday, confirmed on Twitter that she has had her daughter.

She tweeted: "Thank you for all your support these last few days. Belle Baldwin finally arrived at 5.10pm today weighing 5lbs 2oz. She's amazing. X"

Willoughby's This Morning co-star Phillip Schofield confirmed earlier today that she was still in labour, tweeting: "Just spoke to @hollywills who says thanks so much for all your good wishes.

"Here's the current situation, obviously if the baby arrived over the last few days it would be quite early, so the team around her are balancing when is the best time for her to be born."

Willoughby, who knew the child's gender in advance, was named 'Celebrity Mum Of The Year' in 2010.

The Dancing on Ice host and her husband Dan Baldwin also have 1-year-old son Harry.
