"She's incredible and she certainly made an entrance, giving us all quite a fright at times! Little Miss Independent already!"
The star went on to thank the staff at the hospital for the "incredible job taking care of myself and my baby" over the past few days.
"Back home now for family time and to introduce little lady to her big brothers Norman & Ollie.... Let the next life chapter begin @gorka_marquez," she added.
