CHANTELLE Connelly has given birth to a baby boy after an emergency C-section and had to be "knocked out" for surgery.
The former Geordie Shore star, 29 was put to sleep for the operation and her mum revealed she "will wake up to this beautiful little bundle" in a post on Instagram earlier today.
Proud grandmother Allison wrote on Instagram at 8am on Tuesday: "My beautiful grandson born 6 minutes past. 6 weighs 6lb 6oz.
"Chantelle doesn't know he's here yet had an emergency section she is still in theatre they had to put her to sleep
"She will wake up to this beautiful little bundle."
Allison posted a photo of the Newcastle Birthing Centre's logo along with her message.
Just three weeks ago she shared a picture of her daughter beaming at her baby shower and holding giant pink balloons spelling "baby".
The balloons were tied down with sparkling blue weights and Chantelle couldn't stop smiling as she showed off her growing bump.
Chantelle knew she was having a baby boy when she showed off her small bump earlier this year.
She appeared to have a toned torso and captioned her post: "Before I had a bun in the oven I still literally can not wait for a bump though the best feeling I’ve ever experienced is my baby kicking , there’s no feeling like it."
But she'd been forced to defend herself after trolls slammed her small stomach but she also revealed her baby bump had started to show.
Chantelle posted a clip of herself sat in a car wearing a crop top with her jeans unzipped, which was captioned: "Look who's getting fat."
The reality star then posted a picture of her figure side on as she posed in a mirror.
She has even gone to extra lengths and shared a photo of her baby scan to prove she is expecting, after cruel trolls accused her of lying about her pregnancy.

Chantelle announced her pregnancy with her new boyfriend Lee Blackburn back in September, telling friends that she was "over the moon" about becoming a mum in a Facebook post.
She had found happiness with Lee just months earlier after breaking up with her ex Clark Crawford.
