Emma Kenny, 52, told her followers she had given birth to a daughter named Ella-Grey.
She gushed how the newborn, who was seen wrapped up in a white towel and pink knit hat, was “as wonderful as I’d imagined she’d be.”
Yet amid the joy at the baby girl making her mark in the world, Emma told how her arrival was just weeks after her mum passed away.
Writing alongside a reel that featured a series of snaps of Ella-Grey, including one of her holding the newborn just moments after giving birth, Emma wrote: “Say hi Ella-Grey And then there were six!
“Say hello Ella-Grey! This morning she entered the world with a loud cry.
“The Royal Bolton Hospital have been fantastic and ensured that we have both been looked after brilliantly.”
Opening up on her bittersweet feeling, Emma continued: “I lost my mum suddenly a couple of weeks back, and it’s really strange knowing that neither of my babies will get to know their grandparents…
“They would have loved them as my older boys did before them.”
Emma then went on to gush over her newborn and added: “Ella-Grey has been lying on me all day, she latched on immediately and is as wonderful as I imagined she would be… but like her sister… I am blindsided that she is a girl.
“So, now I have two very big boys of 20 and 22, and two tiny girls aged 1 day and 23 months.”
Emma gave birth to her eldest daughter back in 2023, after keeping her third pregnancy a secret.
At the time, she said she had “waited 10 years” for the joyous occasion.
In the caption at the time, she revealed that her little bundle of joy is named Etta-Blue.
Emma, who is best known for her appearances on This Morning as the ITV1 show’s resident psychologist, also has two sons with her ex-husband – Tyde and Evan.

In her recent post after her family expansion she told how her happiness at becoming a mum again later in life comes following the tragic death of her father in 2019, who took his own life.
Emma told fans that she never thought she would experience happiness again following her sad loss.
In her emotional upload she wrote: “When my dad took his life in 2019, I never thought I would be happy again, but in truth I couldn’t have been more wrong, I’ve learnt we are more than simply built to withstand suffering, we are programmed to learn, and grow, and develop courage through it.
“I cannot change what happened but I can embrace the gifts that grief brought me.”
Emma signed off the post with a message of thanks to her followers for helping her through the difficult times and wrote: “Thank you to all of you who have spent years supporting me.”
Emma’s celebrity friends and followers were quick to offer their messages of congratulations to the TV star following her news.
Former Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldsley commented: “Huge congratulations xx.”
Loose Women anchor Ruth Langsford then gushed: “Congratulations both.”
Atomic Kitten singer Natasha Hamilton penned: “So happy for you Emma – what a beautiful little girl huge congratulations to you all xxx.”
Emma’s baby news comes nearly two years after she gave birth to a baby girl following a secret pregnancy.
