Marco Pierre White Junior becomes a dad for the first time and shares pictures of newborn baby Arabella Rosa
MARCO Pierre White Junior has announced the birth of his baby daughter - but is still yet to confirm who the mother is.
The troubled former Big Brother contestant - who is the son of the famous chef - took to Instagram to announce Arabella Rosa's arrival earlier this morning.
The excited star documented the hospital trip on his Instagram Story after sharing a sweet photo of himself kissing his partner's baby bump with the caption: "Not long left."
He followed up with a snap of himself grinning, writing: "It's the big day, not long until I meet my little angel."
Once in the hospital, Marco shared videos of himself dressed in scrubs as he prepared for the impending birth.
Half an hour later, the 24-year-old reality TV favourite beamed as he filmed himself cradling the newborn.
He told followers: "She's here, finally - at 11.34am."
Marco also revealed that she was 7.4oz, with the little girl's face away from the camera and her head kept cosy in a knitted white hat with a green bobble.
Another snap showed the heavily inked hunk plant an affectionate kiss on his newborn's forehead, revealing her name in the following post as he wrote: "Arabella Rosa Pierre White."
In this photo, Marco is again cradling his daughter, and his girlfriend is also visible as she lays down beside them - but she is not looking at the camera.
Marco announced that he was set to become a dad in July, posting a photo of the scan with the caption: "My father's first grandchild. I am going to be a daddy to a baby girl."
He hasn't confirmed who the little one's mother is, but was last linked to Francesca Suter.
The star has a history of drug addiction and petty crime, bragging that he squandered £250,000 of his famous dad’s money on "prostitutes, cocaine and alcohol" in just three months during his 2016 Big Brother appearance.
He first went to rehab when he was sixteen years old, and has been in and out of facilities ever since.
He has also been arrested numerous times but as of yet has never served a jail term.
