Dani Harmer gives birth to a baby boy

'Tracy Beaker' star Dani Harmer has given birth to a baby boy.

The 33-year-old actress has taken to Instagram to announce the arrival of her second child with her partner Simon Brough.

Alongside a snap of her newborn son, Dani - who also has a five-year-old daughter called Avarie-Belle - wrote on the photo-sharing platform: "Rowan Leon James Brough. 7.2.22 10:49am 8lbs 3oz (sic)"

Dani has already received some congratulatory messages from her showbiz pals.

Soap star Lisa Riley wrote: "Congratulations beautiful! So so happy for you all, sending the biggest of snuggles and cuddles. (sic)"

Andrew Hayden-Smith - another CBBC star - also hailed the arrival of Dani's baby boy.

The 38-year-old actor simply wrote, "Congratulations".

Dani actually announced her pregnancy via an Instagram post last year.

The actress - who starred in 'My Mum Tracy Beaker' in 2021 - wrote on the platform at the time: "Han Solo had Chewie. Frodo had Sam. Shrek had Donkey.

"Now be prepared for the adventures of Avarie-Belle and as of yet unnamed bump, coming February 2022 (hopefully not to a cinema near you). (sic)"

The actress - who starred in 'The Story of Tracy Beaker' between 2002 and 2006 - and Simon have been together since 2015. But the loved-up duo have so far held-off getting married because they want to wait until their daughter is a bit older.

Simon previously explained: "We don't want to get married just because we're having a baby. Dani wants the little one to walk up the aisle with us, so we'll have to wait a fair few years for that."
