Brookside actor Philip Olivier has welcomed his fifth baby in eight years.
Philip and his partner Amy Virtue are already doting parents to three boys and a girl, but now they’ve now become a happy family-of-seven as their latest baby arrived in the middle of November.
The 42-year-old actor, who played Tim O’Leary in the Channel 4 soap, has now got plenty of fatherly duties to attend to with his impressive brood.

Philip’s dad confirmed the exciting news in a Facebook post on November 20, where he revealed that Philip and Amy have named their baby girl Selina Sky.
His post explained “little fighter” Selina has been placed in an incubator for the time being, but would be heading home once the antibiotics wore off.
The sweet post read: “NUMBER 13. Welcome to our world Selina Sky Borg-Olivier. Born 4 days ago but has been in an incubator until today but will be allowed home once the antibiotics wear off. Little fighter.”
