Dancing On Ice professional skater Brianne Delcourt has given birth, welcoming her a baby girl with her footballer husband Kevin Kilbane.
The sweethearts were partnered up on the 2019 edition of the hit skating competition, only to fall for each other on the ice.
Their whirlwind romance saw the pair get engaged and married in the space of nine months, with Brianne announcing her pregnancy last September.
Watching their family grow, the couple announced the birth of their first child together on Wednesday evening, sharing an image of the newborn’s tiny hand.
The proud parents have chosen the name “Olivia Mai” for their bundle of joy.

The tot will be the fifth member of their family, as football star Kevin has a daughter from a previous relationship, Elsie, and Brianne is also mum to young Gracie Isabella, two.
After just two months of dating, Kevin proposed to Brianne last year, getting on bended knee and popping the question with a glittering £53,000 sparkler.
Smitten by her hubby to be, Brianne shared the news with fans by saying: “He couldn’t have been more perfect ~ I love you @kdkilbane77 . 02.04.2020.”
When coronavirus restrictions tampered with their plans to marry in Ireland, they decided to travel to Canada and wed overseas in the Bonnie View Inn.

Brianne was pregnant with their baby during their intimate wedding ceremony, making the day all the more special for the newlyweds.
She told OK! at the time: “It was amazing. Of course we had Gracie with us, but to also have our baby in my stomach took it to a complete other level. The baby kicked as we said ‘I do’.”
Once the lockdown restrictions lift, Kevin and Brianne plan to marry for a second time in Ireland later this year, with Kevin’s family in attendance.

Thrilled with the last-minute ceremony, Brianne added: “We’ve been so busy and there’s been so much excitement. It’s been crazy, but all good stuff.
“We planned the whole wedding in two weeks.”
As the couple are currently based in Canada, Brianne has not featured on the 2020 series of Dancing On Ice, which is currently gripping viewers on Sunday evenings in the UK.
