Congratulations are in order for Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Taylor, who has announced the birth of her second child.
The comedian and Ted Lasso star revealed back in September that she was expecting a baby with her husband Phil Black.
Ellie has now shared a sweet Instagram post announcing the newborn's arrival, revealing he is a boy and that she has had to pull out of tonight's (November 30) Royal Variety Performance as a result of his birth.

"This is the fabulous outfit I was meant to be wearing tonight while doing stand-up at the @royalvarietyperformance in front of 4,000 people, including @princeandprincessofwales," she captioned the reel, which included her looking in the mirror wearing the dress.
"Swipe to see the actual outfit I’ll be wearing tonight due to the surprise early arrival of my own little HRH…," she continued, with the post also showing her cradling her new baby on a hospital bed.
"Gutted to miss out but also very very happy to be wearing giant mesh knickers and saying 'But his skin is just so SOFT!' ten times an hour.

"Mother and baby doing well because mummy has access to morphine and baby has access to boobies," Ellie went on to quip.
"Wishing the rest of the performers the best night for a fantastic cause! Wishing me 12 hours sleep and a massive Pina Colada (not with the morphine, don’t worry…)".
Ellie has since received a host of congratulations in the comments, with comedian Sara Pascoe writing: "Oh Ellie well done! So much love to you all". DJ and Strictly star Clara Amfo added: "Congratulations sweet Ellie! X".

The comedian said a few months ago that she was "excited. Terrified. Grateful. Hungry" upon announcing her pregnancy.
Ellie elaborated in a note that "pregnancy has been a funny old topic" for her, and that she has "sometimes found it tricky following prego people online"
"For anyone in a similar headspace, if the idea of the inevitable baby spam that will follow makes you feel a bit weird, then I lovingly encourage you to be kind to your brainbox and mute or unfollow me," she added.
"I hope you'll be back but whatever your situation, I wish you love and clarity as you continue to navigate your own journey xxx."
