Former Celebrity Big Brother star Casey Batchelor has welcomed her first child into the world with her boyfriend Dane Goodson.

Casey, who appeared on the popular show back in 2014, announced her happy news on social media this afternoon. Sharing a photo of her new arrival, the proud mum wrote, '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 💛👶🏻💛'. sic

Fans were quick to comment on the photo congratulating the reality star. One user wrote, 'Congratulations Hun... 🎉🥂 hope you’re recovering well?! Big love to you all xx', with another adding, 'Congratulations lovely. Enjoy every minute 💕💕😘 xxx'.

Another then wrote, 'Congratulations Casey!! Hope all is well! You look after yourself and your little one and take your time! Like you said enjoy these precious moments!! Lots of love to you ❤️❤️❤️ xxxx'. sic

Despite not revealing her newborn's name or gender, Casey did promise fans she'd post more updates in the near future.

During her pregnancy, Casey received some harsh comments from online trolls, with some labeling her a 'whale'.

The 33-year-old appeared on Loose Women to strip down to her bikini last month, proving to fans she's not letting the negative comments get to her. She said, "I was on holiday and I overheard someone say, 'God, she's put on some weight since Big Brother,' and I just couldn't be bothered to say anything.

"You get comments anyway when you're not pregnant, but when you're pregnant you get them again."
