Katie Price's sister Sophie has given birth to her second child.
Taking to Instagram, Sophie, 34, shared the happy news as she posted a video of herself holding her baby and smiling to the camera. She said she gave birth yesterday morning and revealed the child's name, Olive Florence Beatrix Brooks. Sophie's second child is the younger sibling of her three-year-old son Albert.
She wrote on Instagram: "Our little family is complete...Olive Florence Beatrix Brooks arrived yesterday morning, and we couldn't be happier." Fans rushed to congratulate the new mum, with one writing: "How beautiful, welcome baby Olive." "Aww congratulations! Hope you're both doing well," said another.

She kept fans updated on the pregnancy through social media and on Friday morning she teased she was awaiting the baby's arrival via a scheduled C-section. Sophie shared a photo showing a hospital ward, with her holding up a polaroid of herself and her husband in the room.
Alongside the photo, she told her followers: "Today's the day... See you on the other side. C-section | Pregnancy | Pregnancy Journey." She was met with well wishes ahead of the procedure from people on the platform.
It comes after Sophie's sister Katie confused her fans earlier this week by saying she had welcomed "twins" and posing with apparent newborns. But it later transpired the star had purchased realistic reborn dolls. Katie said she was taking her role seriously and was carefully considering what she was going to name the dolls, which retail from £300 to £20,000 for the most realistic.
A source close to Katie said: "She's posing with two dolls. These ones are known as reborn dolls and, while they look incredibly lifelike, they're not real. She's doing it to get people interested in her IVF journey, which she's made a TV show about for Channel 4."
The mum-of-five and former glamour model, 46, took part in a TikTok Live as she flogged an assortment of jumpers, dresses and leggings to fans this week. She went on to respond to a pregnant fan who asked her if the clothes would be suitable for her to wear: "All this stuff I'm showing today is good for pregnancy." Katie then shared her IVF heartbreak, explaining: "People keep asking if I’ve done IVF and I’ve done it five times and it's failed."
