Ashlee and their mum Lisa Roussos, 50, were also injured in the attack.

The new arrival was announced by the family online, along with a picture of mum and baby.

The caption read: “Saffie-Rose Sister Ashlee was badly injured in the Manchester Arena attack … November 14th 2020, Ashlee gave birth to Ever-Rose.”

In all, 22 victims died when a suicide bomber detonated explosives in a backpack after a concert.

At Saffie-Rose’s funeral in July 2017, Ashlee promised: “Everything I do from this day forward will be all for you. Saffie Rose, I love you.”

Ashlee said: "She was so, so loving and likeable. Being an aunty would have meant the world to her.

"I don't know if I am having a boy or a girl, but if it is a girl, I am giving her the middle name Rose.

"Either way, the baby will be constantly told about his or her lovely aunty Saffie-Rose who was killed by a cowardly monster with no regard for life.

"This baby will still have her as an aunty - even if she can't physically be here."
