The sixth Saturday has arrived! Una Healy has given birth to a baby girl a week early, with fiancé Ben Foden tweeting the happy news a few minutes ago.

He announced: “I am officially a Dad!!!!!! Una an baby are both amazing and healthy!!!! So proud of them both! #babybenuna ”

The engaged pair have called their daughter Aoife, which is a traditional Irish name that means beauty, and her middle name is Belle. Una wasn’t due to give birth until March 21, but little Aoife was a week early and weighed 7lbs 13 oz.

Una’s fellow Saturdays were quick to congratulate Ben on the amazing news, with Rochelle Wiseman tweeting: “Congrats big Daddy!! I cannot wait to get my ass to the hospital! I'm proud of all 3 of you! Can't wait to be aunty.

She added: “A beautiful girl has entered the world today and, I'm her aunty #blessed I'm so proud of @unahealy@ben_foden BIG love! Xx”

Frankie Sanford wrote: “Congrats. So excited!!! Big hug... Don't forget Una on mothers day Sunday! How cool. Ur mum and dad! X”

And Vanessa finished off the band’s round of congratulatory tweets with: “Congratulations @ben_foden@unahealy and baby! So happy!! Xxx”

Ahh, it’s all a bit emotional, isn’t it?

But it sounded like Una was feeling the stress of pregnancy last week, telling her fans the baby left her out of breath. She wrote on Twitter at the time: “ust walked from the kitchen to the living room and I feel out of breath!! She's all up in my grill!! (ribs) #uncomfortable ”

Una was last spotted nipping out to the shop with Ben to stock up on food for her cravings – chocolate oranges and cucumbers, if you were wondering.

And she may have been heavily pregnant, but she still had to carry her own bag. Either Ben’s got her in training for lugging a big baby around… or he’s a tad lazy.
