Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page gives birth to baby girl and shares quirky name

GAVIN and Stacey star Joanna Page has given birth to a baby girl and shared the festive first snap of her newborn.

The 44-year-old actress did not confirm when the little one was born, but did reveal her quirky name.

In a sweet photo, the proud mum is cuddling her bundle of joy in front of a Christmas tree sparkling with tinsel and fairylights.

She looks blissfully happy as she nuzzles into her daughter's head, with the newborn snoozing soundly.

Joanna captioned the post: "Welcome to our family Boe Willow Russell. We love you with all our hearts 💕 @jamesthornton_"

She was quickly inundated with well-wishes from her celebrity friends, including Dermot O'Leary who wrote: "The best news" Congrats."

And Tamzin Outhwaite commented: "Congratulations, how beautiful. Love to you all."

Joanna's husband James shared the same photo and gushed: "She is here! Our wonderful girl Boe Willow Russell. We love you with all our hearts. ❤️"

The couple announced that they were expecting a ";surprise" fourth child back in August, with the pair already mum and dad to eight-year-old Eva, six-year-old Kit, and five-year-old Noah.

Joanna and James have been married since 2003 after meeting while starring alongside each other in 1999 series David Copperfield.

However, Joanna is best known for her role as Stacey Shipman in hit BBC show Gavin and Stacey.

She also appears in beloved Christmas film Love Actually.

Last month, Joanna shocked fans with a photo of her huge baby bump as her due date loomed - with followers fearing that she will "pop".
