Danielle Lloyd has announced that her newborn son, who was born premature in July, has been deemed well enough to leave hospital.

The Celebrity Big Brother contestant and footballer fiancé Jamie O'Hara welcomed a child named Harry into their family last month, ten weeks before Lloyd's due date.

The new arrival weighed just 4lbs 4oz at birth and has remained in a special care unit at a hospital near the couple's home in the Midlands for the last five weeks.

However, Lloyd today announced on Twitter that they had finally been able to bring their "little miracle" home.

"I've got some great NEWS!!!!!!!!! We are so Happy," she wrote. "Harry IS home! Can't believe it 5 long weeks & we have our family complete thanks everyone for all your support! He is just simple amazing.

"He is our little Miracle its been tough but nothing compares to the happiness we are feeling right now....I feel all bubbly inside."

The revelation prompted an outpouring of emotion from the 27-year-old's followers, while Lloyd's celebrity friend Michelle Heaton, who confirmed her own pregnancy last month, wrote: "Ahhhh so happy for u both babes... Love to u all see u."

Lloyd and O'Hara became parents to their first son Archie in July 2010.
