Alex took to his twitter page to reveal the happy news, tweeting: “I’m delighted to announce the arrival of my beautiful baby daughter early this morning. Both mother and baby doing well. X”

The 36-year-old cage fighter – who was previously married to Katie Price – was particularly delighted that his daughter was born on Father’s Day.

He added in another tweet: “This really is the most amazing day ever for the 3 of us. Life isn’t good, it’s great. I love my girls so much. Happy ecstatic fathers day! X (sic)”

The delighted couple are yet to reveal the name of the tot or any other details about the baby, including her birth weight.

Chantelle, 28, had only admitted a few weeks ago that she was “petrified” of giving birth and experiencing the pains of labour.

The former Celebrity Big Brother winner said: “I must admit, I’m petrified. I told the midwife I don’t feel mentally prepared and she said, ‘I’ve been worried about you because every time I mention the birth, you go all bleary-eyed and quiet!’

“My mum told me I was born within an hour, so I’m hoping my little girl takes after me and comes quickly!”
