“So so proud of my girl Emilie, she is a warrior!!” Marsh wrote, adding: “We are all in love!! Merry Christmas everyone.”<\/p>\n

The post drew a wave of congratulations from fans and fellow celebrities, including Ms Marsh\u2019s 2022 Strictly Come Dancing partner Graziano Di Prima, who commented “awww” alongside three love-heart emojis.<\/p>\n

Ms Marsh\u2019s mother also joined in the celebrations, writing: “Congratulations Emily and Mikey on the safe arrival of little Bobby, so very proud of you. Another beautiful great-grandson for me.”<\/p>\n

Fans were equally delighted, with one posting: “Oh brilliant! Send my congratulations to Emily and Mikey.” Another added: \u201cAbsolutely beautiful. He is the most amazing gift for Christmas.”<\/p>\n
