Jenni Falconer has announced the birth of her first child.

The TV presenter and husband James Midgley, who married last June, welcomed their daughter Ella Rose last night.

Falconer confirmed the news on Twitter, writing: "The wait was worth it....our beautiful baby girl, Ella Rose Midgley, arrived last night at 12.37 weighing 7lb 2oz. We are totally smitten!"

The 35-year-old previously said that she was "just waiting" to give birth, after passing her due date earlier this month.

Falconer co-hosted ITV's This Morning alongside Phillip Schofield for several months earlier this year, while regular presenter Holly Willoughby was off on maternity leave.

Both Schofield and Willoughby offered the couple their congratulations on today's edition of the daytime magazine show.
