Celebrity Big Brother star Ben Jardine only shot to fame back in 2017, when he married police officer Stephanie Remy on popular Channel 4 show Married At First Sight, but he's certainly had a whirlwind 12 months!

Despite marrying Stephanie on the show, Ben publicly confessed to cheating on her, and later revealed the news that he was about to become a dad for the first time with a mystery friend.

THEN, when Ben appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in the summer, he caused even more drama when he got VERY close to his fellow housemate Roxanne Pallett, despite her having a fiancé on the outside.

Now, fast forward a few months and Ben has become a dad for the first time, with his friend Lizzy Cundy announcing the news on her radio show. She said, "Congratulations Ben Jardine. He is a father. Had a little baby girl." SIC

As the news of Ben's first born baby was made public, Stephanie took to Instagram to break her silence on the matter.

Posting a photo of herself to her Instagram Story, Stephanie wrote, 'I'm being asked for comments... but it's not my news to comment on.' sic

Although Ben is yet to comment on his daughter's new arrival, he did open up earlier this year when he announced he was set to become a father.

Ben said, "They say 'God loves to turn purposeless chaos into something beautiful' and He (or She!) really has in my life! I have been blessed. Out of all the chaos of this past year something beautiful has happened, which I will forever protect and be grateful for.

"I never thought it would happen to me. Everything happens for a reason. It's going to make a man out of me and I'll be a great dad."

Congratulations to Ben on the birth of his baby girl! 👶
