Marnie Simpson gives birth! Geordie Shore star welcomes third child with husband Casey Johnson
The couple, who tied the knot in March 2023, are also parents sons, Rox, five, and Oax, two.
Sharing their happy news to Instagram on Friday, Marnie, 33, uploaded a selfie in bed as she assured fans both she and her daughter were doing well.
She captioned the update: 'Baby girl is here safe & sound! We're Both doing really well and recovering. Shes so beautiful and perfec!
'I feel so blessed and still feels surreal I have a daughter. Gonna enjoy this baby bubble and get back to socials once I've recovered fully. Thanks for all the amazing messages it really means so much'
Marnie announced her pregnancy in February with a black-and-white video featuring her ultrasound and touching moments of her children cradling her bump.
Fans were shocked by the news, as Marnie had previously insisted she wouldn't have a third child due to her past difficult pregnancies.
When pregnant with her second child, she stated: 'I would not go to three. I think you've got to find the balance for yourselves.
'We want to enjoy our lives as well. We've not waited too long to have kids and I feel like having two, we can give them the best life possible.'
Casey and Marnie first became an item in June 2017 after they appeared on the reality show, Single AF together.
Marnie previously revealed she was 'shocked' when Casey proposed in 2020 because she was 'at her worst' both 'mentally and physically.'
She said she couldn't believe the former X Factor singer wanted to marry her after she spent months suffering from a painful bladder condition.
Marnie was diagnosed with a chronic UTI in 2016 which got worse after giving birth to Rox in 2019.
The reality star revealed she had to spend 'thousands of pounds' on doctors' consultations' she was eventually diagnosed with Trigonitis in 2020.
Trigonitis is a condition where the triangular piece of tissue located in the lower part of the bladder becomes inflamed.
Speaking about her engagement, Marnie told MailOnline: 'It was a really emotional moment because I think there were times this last year that I just couldn't even believe Casey was staying with me.
'I was in such a bad way mentally, emotionally and physically; I couldn't believe he even wanted to be with me. I was in such a bad way.
'When he asked me to marry him I was honestly shocked because I thought 'you're asking me to marry you when I'm literally at my worst?'
'For him to ask me to marry him at that point I thought 'what? You're asking me to marry you when I'm this ill?' It completely shocked me. He said he loved me unconditionally and it was just a real special moment.'
Marnie rose to fame on Geordie Shore alongside co-stars Charlotte Crosby, Holly Hagan and Sophie Kasaei, where she was filmed having sex on TV, stripping off and having bust-ups.
While Geordie Shore is still going, it now has a much different feel, with many of the cast members married with children.
The latest season saw Marnie, Abbie Holborn, Chantelle Connelly, Charlotte Crosby, Chloe Ferry, Holly Hagan, James Tindale, Jay Gardiner, Kyle Christie, Nathan Henry and Sophie Kasaei travel to Cyprus with their partners and kids.

Secrets of Brad Pitt's 'facelift' shared by top plastic surgeons
With Brad Pitt's F1 movie thrilling fans, talk of his youthful looks have taken pole position. One person boldly to social media to declare: 'Brad Pitt got a facelift,' while a second added: 'The surgeon who did [his] facelift should be the richest person on Earth.' has spoken to three plastic surgeons to uncover the procedures the actor may have received. Despite the suggestions, each said he likely did not receive a facelift, saying they couldn't see the typical giveaway signs of taut skin, squinting eyes, and scars around the ear. Instead, they suggested it was much more likely that he had received fat transfers or fillers into the mid-face to boost volume and make him appear younger. Dr Michael Bassiri-Tehrani, a facial plastic surgeon in New York City, said: 'This is a subtle touch-up procedure that tends to be more desirable, especially if you are in the public eye. 'This is because it means... a less drastic change in your appearance, which is important, especially for someone who is in movies and whose face is their identity and their brand.' Brad first debuted his incredibly youthful new looks in September last year, which again sparked speculation from fans about a potential facelift. Sources close to the star denied rumors that he had had a facelift, or received any other procedures to The plastic surgeons did not treat or get the chance to examine Brad in person, and instead based their comments on photos and videos of the star online. Dr Barry Weintraub, a top facelift surgeon in New York City who examined two pictures of the star, said: 'Looking straight at these images, it is clear that he is handsome as hell. 'But I do also notice that in the later photo his face is fuller, and that would either be from fat transfers or a variety of fillers that were used. 'It could also be simply because he gained weight, because that can also lead to more fullness appearing in the face.' He added: 'As you get older, you start to lose volume in your own face... so placing volume back into it is a great way to add youth, and I think that is what was done here.' Surgeons said he'd likely received the filler or fat transfers into the cheeks and jawline to add volume to these areas. They said that overall it was more likely this was fat, typically taken from the abdomen or thighs, because this is longer lasting and can trigger a more natural result. Many celebrities also opt for blepharoplasties, a procedure to remove skin above the eyes to make someone appear more youthful. But all three surgeons said Brad had avoided this. Dr Gary Linkov, a plastic surgeon also in New York City, said: 'I still don't see great proof that he's had a facelift. His hairline area looks ok to me, and I don't see any clear evidence for me. 'But it is possible that he might have had a fat transfer or filler to the mid-face. 'I mentioned a few years ago that he may have had that procedure, so it's definitely possible that he did something like that again.' Dr Adam Scheiner, a cosmetic surgeon in Florida and author of 2017 book The True Definition Of Beauty, said Brad may appear so youthful because of how someone views a person's face. 'When we look at a person's face, our brains focus on the eye and mouth region first and the skin and facial contours area second. 'So it tends to be much more dramatic when someone has the eyes or mouth worked on, whereas if it's on other areas it tends to be much more subtle - like the work we see here.' Brad has not commented on any recent work he may have, but he has repeatedly spoken about aging - saying after he turned 60 years old that he was starting to feel his own mortality. Surgeons have previously suggested that Brad has been receiving fillers and Botox during the years to maintain his youthful appearance but this has never been confirmed. Surgeons suggested too that Brad may be maintaining his skin using moisturizers, micro-needling, and other procedures.

Outlander's Lauren Lyle returns as Karen Pirie for series two of ITV drama
Outlander star Lauren Lyle returns to her role as Karen Pirie in the hit ITV drama for season two - here's an insight into her life off screen. Lauren Lyle first won over audiences as Marsali MacKimmie Fraser in the popular time-travel drama Outlander. Since then, her career has continued to grow from strength to strength. Most recently, she secured a leading role in ITV's crime drama Karen Pirie, with the second season premiering tonight. It was one of the surprise TV hits of 2022, and now Karen Pirie is making its comeback on Sunday evening. Outlander star Lauren returns as the lead detective, once again diving into decades-old cold cases in the highly anticipated second season. Based on Val McDermid's novels, Karen Pirie won over viewers with its gripping storytelling and unique take on the detective genre. Lauren's portrayal of the lead character was widely praised, earning her two BAFTA Scotland awards. Unlike many typical detectives on TV, Pirie is portrayed as approachable, witty and fun-loving with a touch of sarcasm. Lauren has admitted that carrying the weight of leading her own show was "overwhelming" at times, but she's keen to see how audiences respond to the new season. Much different to the character she portrays on-screen, off-screen Lauren likes to keep a low profile. Only occasionally keeping her fans up to date on her life via her Instagram account - which has over 225,000 followers - showing behind the scenes photos from her career and travels. Let's take a closer look into the life of Lauren Lyle, as she returns to her role as Karen Pirie. Early life Lauren was born on July 12, 1993, in the south side of Glasgow, where her family still lives today. Though she keeps her personal life mostly under wraps, fans know that acting wasn't always the career she expected to take. Initially involved with the Scottish Young Conservatives, Lauren made a bold decision to switch paths and pursue acting. Her early performances included an impress performance the Edinburgh Fringe for Fourth Monkey and a role in The Crucible on the London stage. Her talent earned her a spot in the highly competitive National Youth Theatre's rep programme in 2015 - a programme that selects only around 15 actors under the age of 25 to perform a season of plays in London's West End. During this time, Lyle starred in productions such as Wuthering Heights, Consensual, and The Merchant of Venice. Outlander Lyle was cast as Marsali MacKimmie Fraser in Outlander, the TV series based on the best-selling books by Diana Gabaldon, back in 2017. Her character appeared in the show in the third season. Speaking to Glasgow Times about her role, she said: "Outlander changed my life. I don't think I realised going into Outlander how big a deal it was. How big a show, how popular it is and how dedicated the fanbase are." It has now been confirmed that Lauren will be back for the 8th and final season of Outlander, reprising her role as Marsali, alongside her on-screen husband Fergus Fraser, played by Cesar Domboy. Dating life As with many rising stars, Lauren's personal life has sparked curiosity among fans, particularly since her breakout role in Outlander in 2017. Rumours of a romantic relationship between Lyle and her on-screen husband Cesar Domboy (Fergus Fraser) have been speculated by fans for years due to their on-screen chemistry. Additionally, the pair are close off screen as they spend a lot of time together outside of work. During a previous Starz interview, both actors shared that they enjoy exploring Glasgow together on their days off. However neither Lauren or Cesar have confirmed anything publicly, with Lauren often keeping that side of her life extremely private.
