TOWIE star Chloe Ross has given birth to her first child with boyfriend Ben Scanes.
The 30-year-old secretly welcomed her baby daughter, who the couple have named Penelope, a week ago before taking to Instagram to announce the news on Sunday.
Chloe shared a slew of adorable snaps of her ‘bundle of joy’ as she documented her first seven days of motherhood.
The baby news comes after the reality TV star revealed she was pregnant in a sweet Instagram post in August.
She shared a cute black and white video showing her growing bump, with numerous clips capturing the moments in which she told friends and family they had a little one on the way.

She added a caption reading: ‘Surprise! We’re having a Baby… due January 2024.
‘I’ve been so excited to share our news with you and hiding it from you all has been tough trying to throw you all off with the wine posts… can’t wait to share our next chapter in our lives with you all, I’m truly so grateful.
‘Love all my family and friends that have been so supportive these past months I appreciate you all so much xxx’
Chloe and Ben reunited in 2019 after previously dating and breaking up.
She departed TOWIE that year, shortly after her reunion with Ben, and at the time she said their romance reduced her prospect of storylines thus leading to her axing from the show alongside Jayden Beales.
Chloe previously told MailOnline of having babies: ‘Definitely, I would love to have children. Because I’m one of four, I’ve always said I want four but Ben says, “No, I want two.”
‘You never know what the future holds, I’ll just be grateful if I can have one child, so it will happen when it is meant to happen.’
The beauty showed off her growing baby bump on numerous occasions ahead of the little one’s arrival.
Chloe posed in red lace lingerie as part of a fun festive Christmas shoot for Ann Summers last month.
The star sweetly cradled her tummy as she modelled the new line from the brand’s costumes and dress up collection.

She looked incredible as she revealed that her due date was, January 18.
The reality star wore a pair of brown tracksuit bottoms under her bump and styled her long tresses back in a neat bun.
She revealed that her hospital bag is packed and she ‘can’t believe how quickly’ her pregnancy has gone.
Chloe’s baby’s arrival comes after she explained to MailOnline she split with Ben before deciding to get back together in 2019, adding that the break only made them ‘stronger’.
During the interview, she revealed: ‘I do have a boyfriend, he’s my ex-boyfriend basically. He was my boyfriend, then we split up…
‘Then I joined TOWIE, and then we started dating again just before my second series and now we’re back together, and I’m really, really happy.
‘Some relationships need a break and so did ours, but it made us stronger. We are really good, and I think our relationship is coming up to a year now.’
