"Jesse and I are over the moon and buzzing with love, as our baby daughter Honey Krissy Wood came into the world this morning," wrote Fearne, 34.

"Congratulations beautiful lady @Fearnecotton so so excited for you all. Can't wait to meet little honey... Love you x," wrote Holly, who became a mum for the third time herself this time last year.

Rochelle Humes, who has a two-year-old daughter Alaia-Mai with former JLS star Marvin, posted: "Lovely news Fearne, how exciting. Love to you all xx."

The mum-of-two was also congratulated by McBusted singer Tom Fletcher, who just last week announced that he and his HELLO! Online blogger wife Giovanna are expecting their second baby. "Amazing news! Congratulations @Fearnecotton and Jesse. Over the moon for you. X," he tweeted.

Leigh Francis, who is also known by his alter ego Keith Lemon, commented on the little girl's sweet moniker, writing: "Lovely name xxx miss you. See ya soon!"

In February, Fearne used Twitter to announce her second pregnancy, telling her 6.46 million followers that she and husband Jesse felt "extremely blessed and happy that Rex will be a big brother".

The former Top of the Pops presenter also surprised fans when she revealed that she would be quitting her Radio One show after ten years, to prepare for the baby's arrival and focus on her two young children.
