Love Island’s Claudia Fogarty has given birth to her first child.
The reality star, 31, revealed that she has welcomed a baby girl with her footballer boyfriend Ollie Crankshaw.
The couple, who started dating in September 2023, confirmed the news on social media, revealing they have named the child Delilah Maeve Crankshaw.
Yet Claudia confessed they had quite the scare after she went into labour six weeks earlier than her due date.
Alongside a black and white photograph of her baby girl, she penned: ‘Delilah Maeve Crankshaw born on 30th September 2025.
‘Our little bundle of joy came into this world 6 weeks early giving us quite the scare. She is one strong little girl who has completed our whole life.
‘We are completely besotted by her and can’t wait to bring her home and start this amazing journey of parenthood. Mummy and daddy love you so so much @ollycrankshaw1.’

Claudia first announced the news of pregnancy in May with a sweet Instagram post as she and Ollie cradled her blossoming bump.
Alongside the post, she penned in a caption as the pair showed off their scan: ‘Half of me half of you. We can’t wait to meet you. Baby Crankshaw coming November 25.’
Claudia debuted her baby bump as she showed off her changing figure in a brown satin maxi dress as she shot a sweet video at sunset in Dubai.

Claudia – who is the daughter of superbike racer Carl Fogarty – went public with Oliver in September 2023.
At the time she shared a slew of loved-up photos from a date night with her boyfriend, alongside the caption: ‘Finally found my happiness’.
The reality personality’s former fling Casey O’Gorman – who she met on Love Island -was among her followers sharing their approval for her new relationship in the comments section.
Casey, who revealed they had ‘crossed friendship boundaries’ after leaving the villa, commented a string of love hearts under the post.

Claudia and Casey first met on the 2023 winter edition of Love Island, however they first went their separate ways when his head was turned by bombshell Rosie.
Following the failed romance, Claudia went on to enjoy a series of dates with Ollie.
Sharing an insight into one of their date nights in her Instagram official post, Claudia and Ollie cosied up while sat next to each other at dinner as well as posing in a kitchen in front of a mirror.
The couple were dining at Meraki at Sakku Samba in Manchester and were later pictured enjoying a smooch as they left the venue.
Other celebrity pals to send their congratulations included Georgia Harrison and her Love Island co-star Tom Clare, who said: ‘Love it guys!’
Casey previously admitted that he and Claudia were engaged in a ‘friends with benefits’ relationship after leaving the Cape Town villa.
The pair fell for each other while filming winter series, but he soon had his head turned by bombshell Rosie Seabrook, leaving Claudia devastated.
But his romance with Rosie soon went south, with Casey ‘ghosting’ her only two weeks after returning to the United Kingdom.

Weeks later he hinted at a possible reunion with Claudia, but later admitted they ‘overstepped the friendship boundary’.
Speaking to the Goss Island podcast, he said: ‘We might have overstepped the friendship boundary maybe once or twice on a night out, but it is very much just friends.
‘And since that happened, we’ve basically said we can’t be doing that. We’re just going to stay being friends.’
When asked if it was a ‘friends with benefits’ situation that fizzled out, he confirmed: ‘Yeah. I genuinely feel like if I would’ve stayed with Claudia ’til the end of the show, we probably wouldn’t be friends right now.
‘It probably would’ve ended a lot worse and a lot more emotions would’ve got involved.’
He added: ‘So, as much as – in a way I wish I stayed with Claudia, I think it’s turned out for the best now, because we are such good mates.
‘If people do fake [their feelings on Love Island], I don’t know how they do it. I could never do it and actually fake emotions being in there, because in there it’s just so intense and fair play to anyone that does, but I don’t know how they could do it
