Congratulations are in order for Alex Jones, who has become a mother for the third time.
The One Show host has welcomed a baby girl with her husband Charlie Thompson.
Alex – who also has two sons, Teddy and Kit – announced the news on Instagram alongside a series of sweet snaps.
"We have some news.........Our beautiful daughter came safely into the world on Saturday afternoon 21.08.21," she wrote.
"Tiny, but perfectly formed we are all beyond happy and besotted by her, especially Ted and Kit.
"Watching them with their brand new little sister is just the best and we can’t believe how lucky we are to have the 3 of them and to be a family of 5. It still doesn’t feel real!!!"

She continued: "Thank you to everyone at the Queen Charlotte hospital for all your support again, especially super midwife Audrey. Name will be incoming soon xx."
Alex recently bid The One Show a tearful goodbye ahead of her maternity leave, as a number of her friends from the show paid tribute to her.
Wiping her eyes, she said to her co-hosts: "Oh well you know me, I cry anyway at the slightest thing but honestly, being here has just been superb.
"I love doing it every night and it's really hard to go away, even though it's the third time. It's hard to go away."
She added: "I just want to say in case I missed anybody, a big thank you to everybody who has knitted lovely little gifts for the baby. There is about 25 cardigans. She will be in cardigan heaven, this little girl.
"Honestly, I loved every minute. It's very hard to leave. Thank you, [Gethin Jones] as well for this week. It's so nice to end with you because I know you so well and hopefully I'll be back in the autumn."
The One Show airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One.
