I’m A Celebrity star Babatunde Aleshe has welcomed his second child with wife Leonie.
The comedian, 37, made the announcement on Wednesday as he revealed he had to push back his tour due to his wife giving birth overdue.
While he did not disclose his baby’s name, he revealed they had welcomed a daughter.
The couple also share six-year-old son, Judah.
Babatunde shared with his Instagram followers: ‘We’re so sorry to move tonight’s show as well as all shows up until 20th October due to the birth of my daughter being born overdue.’

He continued: ‘I have had to make the decision to move these dates so I can be with my family at this time. New dates will be released and allocated for everyone that purchased tickets.
‘I look forward to seeing you soon and giving you a fantastic show. Old dates are listed here and new dates will be released with plenty of time to plan.’
Babatunde has been with Leonie since they were teenagers and they tied the knot in 2015.
During his time in the jungle, Babatunde told his fellow campmates: ‘We were friends at school and then one day I was like ‘Wow, you’re pretty’ and it went from there.’
Speaking on ITV’s Lorraine, Leonie said the couple hit it off straight away on their first date.
She said: ‘He was really stern on the first date and I thought this was going to be fun and exciting but he was laying down all these rules, but we absolutely just fell in love within like seven days.’
Babatunde appeared in the jungle last year where he formed a ‘surprise’ friendship with fellow campmate Matt Hancock.
Detailing his friendship with Matt on ITV’s This Morning, he admitted: ‘That surprised me.
‘The way we bonded was definitely surprising… we bonded over fatherhood and that was the thing we talked about’.

The Celebrity Gogglebox star then went on to speak about his weight loss and the realities of life in camp.
He said: ‘I absolutely loved it. Reflecting on it, it was definitely something I needed to do, and I love it, it was great… but it is so different from watching it on TV!
‘You only see a small portion of camp life, so twenty four hours in the jungle – we thought we could ask the crew for some biscuits or sandwiches or something – but when they say rice and beans, they really mean it!’
