BEN Jardine shared the first pic of his baby girl Siena Grace and admitted he's already "head over heels."
The Celeb Big Brother star is smitten with the new arrival after becoming a dad for the first time.
Taking to his Instagram, Ben, 36, showed his softer side to his 61.8k followers.
The sweet snap shows the newborn resting on her father's chest as she wraps her tiny hand around his pinky finger.
Little Siena wears a gorgeous pink baby grow with a quaint swan print.
Clearly chuffed at being a first-time pa, The Married At First Sight star captioned the post: "Thrilled to announce the arrival of little Siena Grace.#amazing.
"Mother and daughter both doing well, Dad is head over heels!#buzzing #heresheis."
And his fans were quick to congratulate him on the good news.
Ben's comments section was flooded with wishes of "congratulations" for the "gorgeous" new arrival.
And fans shared their confidence in his parenting skills, one wrote: "I'm sure you’re going to be an amazing dad, she’s going to be one spoiled little girl from her daddy."
And another said: "Ben you are going to be one top poppa-bear."
The news of Siena's birth was confirmed last week by Ben's pal Lizzie Cundy.
Lizzie made the announcement on on her FUBAR Radio show, revealing Ben, 36, sent her a message to let her know he is now a dad to a little girl.
She said: "Breaking News. Congratulations Ben Jardine.
"He is a father. Had a little baby girl. I don’t know if he wants me to announce it but I just have.
"Just sent me a WhatsApp message."
When her co-host asked who the mother is, Lizzie tried to explain: "That…is a good question. Not the one he married in the show, not the one he went out with after, it’s the other one."
Ben's baby news was exclusively revealed by The Sun Online back in August.
The news that he was expecting a baby with a mystery woman came just eight months after he split from his Married At First Sight wife Stephanie.
He told us: "They say 'God loves to turn purposeless chaos into something beautiful' and He (or She!) really has in my life!
"I have been blessed. Out of all the chaos of this past year something beautiful has happened, which I will forever protect and be grateful for.

"I never thought it would happen to me. Everything happens for a reason.
"It's going to make a man out of me and I'll be a great dad."
Weeks after getting hitched to Steph, the pair shocked fans with the news that they’d split.
Just one day after Ben, 36, announced the marriage was over, a 20-year-old named Lucy accused him of cheating on Steph with her throughout the entire duration of the show.
But Ben insisted he always wanted his marriage to a stranger to work - and admitted he did kiss someone - but only when Steph knew it was all over.
The baby news came back to haunt him Celebrity Big Brother this summer as he struck up a flirty relationship with actress Roxanne Pallett.
He failed to tell her he was an expectant father and she was gobsmacked when she finally heard the news.
