Congratulations are in order for Strictly Come Dancing's Neil Jones and Love Island's Chyna Mills, who have welcomed their first child together.

The couple, who confirmed they were expecting a baby earlier this year alongside the news that they were engaged, revealed today (October 4) that they had welcomed a baby girl.

"Our hearts are so full," they captioned a black-and-white Instagram photo of their baby's feet.

Speaking earlier this year about learning Chyna was pregnant, Neil told Hello: "I'd already planned to ask Chyna to marry me before we knew she was pregnant. Then we found out and I was like, 'Oh, this is brilliant, everything is coming together'."

Chyna added of her now-fiancé's proposal: "At first, I thought he was joking because we play jokes on each other all the time.

"Then Neil was like, 'Chyna, so is it a yes or no?' because a few minutes had passed and he was still on one knee. I was like, 'Yeah!' After the baby news, we were on cloud nine – and now this. It still doesn't feel real."

Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Tickets for Strictly's 2024 live arena tour are available now.
