Welcome to the world, little one!

| Updated:

Proud new mum Sam Faiers has shared the first photo of her newborn daughter – and she’s a cutie!

The ex TOWIE star and partner Paul Knightley announced on Sunday that they’d welcomed their second child, and now fans have been given their very first glimpse of the little one.

Rather than saving the first snaps of their newborn for a glossy magazine cover, the doting parents released the first image of their little girl via Instagram.

The picture, uploaded to Sam’s account, shows the reality star cradling her new arrival as son Paul Jr, nearly two, plants a kiss on her nose.

Partner Paul is seen in the background, holding his son up.

Aww!

Fans lavished Sam’s family photo with compliments, and wished her, Paul and Paul Jr all the best with the new arrival.

One wrote: “There is nothing better than having a girl and a boy.”

Another said: “Congratulations to you all such a special time for you and your perfect little family.”

A third added: “What a gorgeous photo welcome to the world little lady. A beautiful family.”

And a fourth commented: “Wishing you and your beautiful family all the happiness, love, luck, good health, kindness, friendship and all the peace in the world.”

Even Sam’s sister Billie Faiers left a comment, writing: “Our beautiful princess you are the most precious little darling and auntie loves you more then words can describe.”

Other fans, meanwhile, pleaded with Sam to reveal the newborn’s name, which remains a mystery.

Sam and Paul had chosen not to find out their baby’s sex ahead of the birth, but Sam had admitted they were predicting a girl.

She said on This Morning in August: “I’m carrying a lot different to Paul. We’re keeping it a surprise – but it could mean it’s a girl.”

Fans will get the lowdown on Sam’s pregnancy when she returns to screens this autumn with ITVBe’s Sam & Billie Faiers: The Mummy Diaries.

While Sam previously fronted the reality show solo, she’s joined by big sister Billie for the latest series.

The cameras followed Sam throughout her pregnancy as she juggled the impending arrival with moving house, caring for a lively toddler and expanding her business – including a huge deal in the US.

Billie, meanwhile, is also busier than ever with daughter Nelly starting school, a new baby, Arthur, and planning her wedding to fiance Greg Shepherd.

Sounds like a jam-packed series!

Meanwhile, Sam isn’t the only TOWIE star with baby news recently: close friend Ferne McCann gave birth to daughter Sunday at the start of the month, while Jake Hall and girlfriend Misse Beqiri welcomed a daughter, River, around the same time.
