David Beckham’s sister Joanne has given birth to her first child, a baby girl.

The latest arrival to join the Beckham clan is little Peggy, who was born on Saturday night.

Kris also posted a picture of him carrying the new arrival out of the hospital, which he captioned: “THATS MY GIRL.

“Peggy came into our world on Saturday night…Mummy did amazing!

“The love I feel for the both of you is unexplainable.”

Joanne has described Kris, a former Big Brother contestant, as the love of her life.

And after a whirlwind romance, in August they revealed that they were expecting their first child together.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Joanne and Kris are over the moon.

“Her parents Ted and Sandra are looking forward to having another grandchild.

“And David’s kids are excited about having a new cousin, especially Harper.”

Kris, 42, appeared on Big Brother in 2009 and had a romance with the eventual winner of that series, Sophie Reade.

He also dated Hollyoaks and I’m A Celeb star Jorgie Porter and worked as a model.

Joanne, 32, runs a concierge service.
