"So guys, baby boy has arrived," she said. "I can't even begin to explain how obsessed we are with him. He is just perfect.

"What a different experience that was compared to the birth of Rox, which I'm very grateful for.

"I can't wait to show you him, but I feel like me and Casey have chosen to just wait a little bit because we just want to enjoy him ourselves for a little while."

Marnie announced her second pregnancy in November last year, finding out when she was filming.

"I was filming a TV show in September and we planned on trying after that, but during filming I had really weird symptoms," she said.

"I constantly felt sick, my gums were bleeding and I felt dizzy, but I just put it down to it being an activity-based show and the fact it was 17-hour days."

"Everyone had to do a medical beforehand and when they took my blood pressure it was really low," she added. "My blood pressure has never been low so that was a red flag.

"I told Casey and he said, 'You're definitely pregnant!' So as soon as I got back that night I did a pregnancy test and it came up with 'Pregnant' straight away. We just laughed!"
