The couple were soon flooded with congratulatory messages from their famous friends and loyal fans online.
Their emotional post read: “Oh baby…. He’s here… After a long induction, a long labour, lots of ups & downs & all the drama along the way (oh don’t you worry I’ll be filing you in on everything… [smiley emoji]) our hearts are near to bursting with the arrival of our precious baby boy…
“I just can’t believe I have him, here, in my arms, safely home and ours to keep for always. It still hasn’t sunk in… I’m definitely still in shock and I still can’t believe he’s mine.
“It’s been a long old journey to get him and now as he lays against my chest, whimpering softly, already starting to root for some booby time I feel like I’m the luckiest mama in the land.”

They continued: “I’m soaking it all in. Letting my hair sit like a birds nest on my head, letting the washing pile up, letting the hours while away as I hold him, and sniff him (oh that smell ) because I’ve waited so long for this moment. And I’m loving every second… xx
“The boys are all besotted, James is in love, there’s so much that’s happened, ooh I just can’t wait to fill you in… but for now – we just wanted to say thank you.
“To our friends, family & all of you lovely lot… all of your support & kindness & messages. Well, It’s meant the absolute world.”

“Much love… The Byes (all SIX of us!),” which they signed off with a kiss.
