'She looks so like you (but in a pretty way),' another follower said of the tiny tot, who sports an impressive head of red hair.
'Yes, she is a spitting image!' gushed another follower.
The veteran presenter shared a gallery of photos to social media in May to share his joy at becoming a grandfather.
In the Instagram post, Scott confirmed his son Charlie and his partner Amber had welcomed their first child.
One precious photo captured Scott happily posing alongside Charlie, 28, while he tenderly cradled his newborn grandchild.
Another showed a beaming Scott looking every inch the doting grandad as he held the bundle of joy while visiting the maternity ward and a third captured him lovingly kissing the newborn's forehead.
The Sydney-born presenter revealed in the caption the birth happened in April and he is now going public: 'As of five weeks ago, I became a grandfather to beautiful Tiggy.
'I'm so proud of Charlie and Amber. She is absolutely gorgeous.'
Many of Scott's celebrity friends took to the comment section to offer their words of support.
'The best grandad,' gushed The Block veterans Liberty and Eliza.
'Well done Scotty, what a gift, you'll be the BEST Grandpa of them all,' added Catriona Rowntree and Barry Du Bois chipped in with: 'So happy for you and the family mate. Number One Grandpa.'
Scott and his wife of thirty years, Ann, share twins Bill and Sarah, 25, and Charlie.)
It comes as fans are eagerly waiting for the new season of The Block to drop.
Leaked photos of one of the completed homes in the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Daylesford reveal the upcoming 2025 installment has a very similar aesthetic to a previous season of the show.
While Nine is remaining tight-lipped on the official name, whispers around the network suggest the new series could easily be branded as a sequel to the 2022 'Tree Change' season, which was set in Gisborne in the Macedon Ranges - just a short drive from this year's location.
Daylesford was set to be the site of The Block's 2024 season, however production was eventually moved to Phillip Island following a planning dispute.
The network was reportedly forced to cancel $500,000 worth of accommodation it had booked for the show's cast and crew.
'We've had so many successful series in so many different locations, but we don't go where we are not welcome,' a production insider told the Herald Sun at the time.
In December, the application was finally approved by the Victorian Planning Minister to build five dwellings on a 2,000sqm block of land owned by Hygge Property.
Daylesford is located 114km from Melbourne and its unique combination of natural beauty, historic charm and vibrant local culture provides a stunning backdrop ideal for the show.

Olympic swimmer Cate Campbell announces surprise engagement to partner Adam Kerr and shows off her massive diamond ring
Cate Campbell has announced her engagement. The Olympic swimmer and her long-term partner Adam Kerr shared the happy news in an Instagram post on Sunday. The 33-year-old shared a series of images of the romantic sunrise proposal, while also showing off her classic diamond sparkler. 'A complete and wonderful surprise,' Cate wrote in her caption alongside the carousel of photographs. 'Last Saturday while watching the sun rise at our new local beach, Adam turned and said: "Cate, I have a question for you." I thought maybe he was going to ask what kind of plants to put in our gardens, what kind of dog we should get, or what we should make for dinner. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Instead, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Of course, I said "yes"…(and cried a lot). 'Simply the perfect way to start the next chapter of our lives.' Less than a year ago, Cate insisted there was no engagement on the horizon. The athlete told radio host Ben Fordham on 2GB's Ben Fordham Live! that her sister's Bronte Campbell's betrothal to Benfield Lainchbury at the time had made it even less likely that Adam would pop the question. 'No definitely not, my partner Adam is like, "The pressure is off," because he can't steal Bronte and Benfield's thunder for a little bit,' she said. Cate had some complaints about how her sister's engagement occurred. 'He didn't get down on one knee, which I was a little bit mad about, but I'm glad he popped the question,' she explained. Cate and Adam have been together, on and off, for six years, and the swimmer says that her partner had no idea of her fame when they met. 'He didn't know who I was and he maintains he never Googled me – he wasn't star struck!' she told the Sydney Morning Herald back in 2023. The two split briefly when Cate moved to Sydney to pursue her swimming career, with Cate calling the breakup her 'biggest heartbreak.' When she returned to Brisbane, the couple reconciled. 'We reconnected when I moved back to Brisbane and have been together ever since. He knows what sport means to me,' she said. Cate explained that Adam is an immense support to her when she is feeling down or exhausted. 'When you're feeling tired, depleted or defeated, it's okay to lean on someone and ask for them to help replenish your reserves,' she told Nine. 'Sometimes I have to lean on him and then sometimes he has to lean on me. It's really lovely to be that reserve of strength for someone else.' Cate told the Sydney Morning Herald last year that she isn't planning on starting a family any time soon. 'I need to figure who I am outside of the pool before I go into something as time- and identity-consuming as parenthood,' she said.

The unexpected 'snub' has led to speculation about the status of their relationship after the show. Harrison previously insisted he does not regret having sex in the villa – but hopes his parents weren't watching. The sportsman decided to leave the show on Thursday after being involved in a dramatic love triangle with Lauren Wood and Toni Laites. Viewers were shocked when he was seen making a plea to re-couple with Las Vegas cabana server Toni, despite bedding Lauren the night before. But Harrison, from Burton upon Trent but now based in Miami, said he has no regrets about taking things to the next level on TV. Asked how he felt about his mum and dad knowing what he had done, he said: 'I hope they didn't see. But listen, it was a natural thing. 'I don't think I intended to have sex in the villa, but in there all the Islanders could tell we were so attracted to each other. Naturally, it was going to happen. 'The spark between us was crazy. I probably wasn't thinking about my parents and them watching it, but it naturally happened and I don't regret it.' Lauren, who works as a dog walker in York, was booted from the villa on Wednesday night. 'What is that-' ask baffled fans after Love Island's Lauren confronts Harrison over love triangle with Toni She begged Harrison to follow and, 24 hours later, he made the choice to go. Tonight, fans of the series will see the pair reunite on the spin-off show, Aftersun. Speaking about Lauren, Harrison said: 'We will make the distance work. It will be no issue. 'We left on good terms, but the two days prior to leaving, we weren't talking properly. 'So it would be good to have a conversation, get everything out in the open and hopefully we move forward from there. 'I feel very strongly about the girl. 'I wouldn't have left if I didn't. 'I have no doubt in my mind that she'll be my girlfriend one day. I'm buzzing to see her and reunite. She's such a great girl.' Meanwhile, Harrison said he would be 'mortified' if someone treated his sister the way he acted towards Toni. He revealed: 'I'd like to think we could be friends. I did her wrong a few times in there, so I understand if she doesn't want to reciprocate that. 'The conversation prior to me leaving was a big moment for me and her. I reflected on my whole situation throughout the day, I just let it out. 'You could tell by me getting emotional, I was upset about how I've acted and upset about Toni being upset as well. 'Similarly, if someone treated my sister like I'd treated Toni in there, obviously I'd be mortified. 'I wanted to apologise to her and I think she could see I was being genuine. 'I'm happy with how things were left.' Aside from Toni and Lauren, Harrison also explored connections with air hostess Helena Ford and Shakira Khan in the villa. Harrison said: 'Normally, I say I live life with no regrets. 'But the way I went about certain situations, I definitely would have handled it differently on reflection. 'Should have been more honest' 'I feel like I would've taken myself away from the situation for a day or two and just really figured out what I wanted. 'I would've had those awkward conversations just to let people know where my head was at. I do shy away from those conversations on the outside. 'Especially here, I should have been more honest. 'It was for the greater good, and it would have stopped people's feelings from getting hurt. 'People were hurt more by me being so indecisive and trying to avoid awkward conversations. 'I definitely would have gone about handling triangles in another way.' 4 They left the villa together in Thursday's episode Credit: Shutterstock Editorial

BBC legend dies as devastated colleagues pay tribute to 'champion of local radio'
A star of BBC radio has sadly passed away as tributes from his former colleagues and friends pour in for the iconic one-time Managing Editor of BBC Radio Lincolnshire Colleagues have been paying their respects to Charlie Partridge following the announcement of his passing. The respected media figure had a long-standing career with the BBC, serving as Managing Editor of BBC Radio Lincolnshire from 1999 until his departure in 2020. Tributes poured in over social media on Saturday, July 19, led by former BBC News Foreign Correspondent and presenter Jonathan Charles. While the cause of death has not been disclosed, Jonathan shared his personal reflections on Twitter: "I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Charlie Partridge. More than 45 years ago, he taught me a lot about broadcasting @BBCNottingham - he was a great guy and we stayed in touch, occasionally swapping messages in the years since. Sometimes discussing @springsteen - My thoughts are with his family." He also shared a tribute from John Hess, who expressed his sorrow and celebrated Charlie's life and contributions to public service broadcasting and local radio. BBC Radio Lincolnshire's own Sean Dunderdale joined in commemorating his late colleague with a touching post accompanied by a photo of the two together. He wrote: "As others have posted online, I'm deeply saddened to have learnt yesterday of the death of Charlie Partridge." In a further tribute, Sean recalled his personal connection to Charlie, saying: "I remember - and often reminded him - of how, when a teenager, I listened to his breakfast show on Radio Humberside." "When he was appointed Managing Editor at Radio Lincolnshire, I showed him around Lincs FM and spent years winding him up with daft stunts - including parking my Lincs FM car right outside the BBC reception doors and other such tricks. "I was proud to then become his final presenter appointment before his well deserved retirement from the BBC. His love of radio - especially local radio - shone through everything he did. He continued to judge the National Hospital Awards for me right up until earlier this year and was always full of praise for the winning entries." Sean added: "He was the genius behind Lip Dub Lincoln (check it out on YouTube) and created Lincolnshire Day and the Lincolnshire flag - neither would have happened without Charlie. Next time you see the flag, think of the great Charlie Partridge. Lincolnshire is poorer for his passing but much richer for the time spent he with us." Former BBC presenter Andy Comfort posted on Twitter: "Oh my goodness. How sad. Charlie was indeed a champion of BBC Local Radio and I very much enjoyed working with him, especially in my NUJ role. Condolences to Jill and family and friends. RIP Charlie." BBC radio fans also paid their respects, with one writing: "Sad to hear Jonathan, John. Charlie was a lovely man, who believed in truly local radio. He was also very kind and supportive. Thoughts with his family." Another added: "It is indeed very sad Jonathan. Lovely man." This follows the announcement five years ago that the editors of BBC Radio Lancashire, Radio York and Radio Lincolnshire, including Charlie, had opted for voluntary redundancy.
