Rosie added: ‘Baby Billie Kelly Smith-White is here 29-08-2024.’
‘It feels like she’s been here the whole time and we’re not quite sure what the point of anything was before.
‘I’d heard how amazing midwives are but they are genuinely walking angels – she’s been welcomed into the world with so much love already.’
Back in May, Rosie confirmed she would welcome a baby girl with partner Steve and was adamant the child’s name will have strong ties to her Scottish heritage.
Rosie told HELLO!: ‘We’d talked about it a lot and we both wanted to become parents quite young, so that our parents can be around for as much as possible.’
She was also keen to reference the child’s Scottish ancestry when choosing a name, but admits she’s having a hard time finding one.
‘I really wanted to have a Scottish connection and we had a Scottish boy name sorted, but girls are hard. I’d like to have options,’ she explained.
Celebrating Rosie’s pregnancy on her ITV show, Lorraine told viewers: ‘I’m going to be a granny! How exciting is that? Granny Smith because, you know, my married name is Smith!’

Opening the show, Dr. Hilary said: ‘I think congratulations are in order aren’t they grandma?’

Adding that her husband Steve had told her ‘not to interfere too much,’ she admitted: ‘How hard is that going to be not to interfere?
