Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Casey Batchelor has given birth.

She said: “I haven’t been on social media as I’ve been slightly busy the past few days. We have finally welcomed our beautiful baby. I’m going to take some time out to enjoy and cherish these precious new born moments. But wanted to let you all know as I’ve been having lots of messages.

“I’ll update you with details and with beautiful pictures soon.”

Casey announced her pregnancy back in November and had said she and Dane wouldn’t be finding out the baby’s sex before birth.

“We’re going to be traditional. If we have any more we’ll find out, but for the first one it’s nice to have a surprise,” she told New magazine.

“I’m really happy with either, as I know I want more children.”

She didn’t have the smoothest of pregnancies, however, revealing on Loose Women in April that she’d been subjected to nasty trolling about her changing body.

The 33-year-old recalled: “I was on holiday and overheard someone say, ‘She’s put on a few pounds since Big Brother.’ I couldn’t even be bothered going over and wasting my time by saying anything.

“The most hurtful comments have been online, really. They have been horrendous. Everyone gets horrendous comments, but when you’re pregnant… I should be harpooned, apparently.”

Model Casey is probably best known for appearing on the 13th series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2014, where she enjoyed an ill-fated romance with Lee Ryan.

She has said current partner Dane isn’t interested in being famous which is why she’s kept their relationship away from the spotlight.

Congrats to Casey and Dane!
