Wright announced in November she was pregnant with her first child following her marriage to Lee-Kemp in Majorca in September.

Her mother and Loose Women panellist Carol Wright was among the first to congratulate them, writing: “My heart is complete, can not tell you how proud I am of you both, it was wonderful to experience the journey love you my baby girl.

“You did amazing, he is beyond beautiful. Happiest grandparents ever now to have two beautiful bubbas to love and cherish for ever.”

Wright, whose brother Mark was also on Towie, had previously revealed that the couple discovered they were expecting during their wedding celebrations in Majorca.

Wright and Lee-Kemp married in a lavish ceremony on the Spanish island, followed by a pool-side reception and a banquet in a castle, which was broadcast in a special on ITVBe.
