The former EastEnders star announced in March that she and her Miranda actor husband were expecting another child.

The 41 year old gave birth to a healthy tot earlier this week, and Tom took to Twitter to introduce little Marnie Mae Ellis.

Boasting about his bundle of joy and Britain's haul of gold medals at the Olympics, he wrote: "What a couple of days... Gold medals from everywhere and... oh we had a beautiful baby girl called Marnie Mae Ellis 6lb 5oz of gorgeousness!"

He then uploaded a snap of an Olympic themed baby-gro alongside the caption: "Love this present for our golden girl. Olympic baby."

The baby joins big sister Florence, three.

Before falling pregnant, Tamzin hinted she was eager to have another child before it was too late - and admitted she would happily give up her showbiz career to dedicate her life to her kids.

She said: "I don't want to leave it too late, especially as we would like to have more than one child.

"I am not worried in the least about my career taking a back seat. I want to change my priorities.

"My career and ambitions have been fulfilled, and I would be quite happy not to work again and look after the children. I don't really have that burning ambition anymore."
