The star, 37, shared the news of her daughter’s arrival with OK! after welcoming the newborn on Friday. 

Danielle, who has four sons and has long shared her desire for a daughter, said: ‘Friday we welcomed our beautiful baby girl to complete our family. We are all over the moon and both mummy & baby are doing well.’

Danielle has three sons Archie, 11, Harry, 10, and George, eight, from her previous marriage to football player Jamie O’Hara.      

She also has son Ronnie, four, with her husband Michael who she married in 2019. 

It comes after Danielle revealed on Friday she was being monitored by doctors after noticing her baby had ‘gone quiet.’

She wrote in OK! Magazine: ‘They asked me about the movements of the baby but she was quite quiet during the week so I was a bit worried. 

‘So, I was monitored in the evening and they asked me to come back the following morning.

‘The kids were stressing out because they only thought I was going in for a Covid test. It all seems fine though. It’s better to be safe than sorry.’

Danielle announced back in May that she was pregnant with her fifth child, telling Closer: ‘I can’t wait to become a family of seven. I know there’s a risk it’ll be another boy though…

‘But, of course, the main thing I want is for the baby to be healthy. And if it’s not a girl – we’ll just try again after!’

In July the star learned that she was finally expecting a daughter after openly expressing her desire to have a daughter.

Last year, the former glamour model revealed she’s put her plans to use controversial gender selection treatment on hold after being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis.  

She admitted she ‘can’t think about having a baby at the moment’ but would ‘love a little girl’ during an appearance on Loose Women.

In the interview, she shared she’s put her eldest child Archie in therapy after he began suffering from anxiety following her divorce from her ex-husband Jamie.

Danielle tragically suffered a miscarriage in 2019.

The media personality said she’ll have to delay her hopes of having a daughter as she’s set to undergo an operation to treat her conditions, which can affect a woman’s fertility.

She said: ‘I’ve just found out that I’ve got PCOS and endometriosis so I have to have an operation for that so can’t think about having another baby at the moment anyway.

‘I’m in two minds, I’ve just got a puppy who is a little girl so she’s my baby at the moment. I would love a little girl but four boys is a lot.’

Endometriosis is an often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus – the endometrium – grows outside the uterus, while PCOS is a common condition that affects how a woman’s ovaries work.

In August 2019, Danielle revealed her sons were also keen to have a little sister and said she had been to Dubai’s gender selection clinic, the Fakih IVF centre.

The practice has been condemned by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and is illegal in Britain.

The WHO says that sex selection raises ‘serious moral, legal, and social issues’ and can lead to the devaluation of women and gender imbalance.

Danielle has learnt that the treatment is accurate in 99% of the cases in which a baby is successfully born and also started to investigate the possibility of arranging for a girl in Northern Cyprus, another state where it is legal.

After further questioning, however, the TV star and electrician Michael had previously settled on America, where they felt the overall safeguards would be stronger.

Once there, a number of her eggs would be harvested and fertilised, and then one or two of the resulting female embryos will be reimplanted in the mother’s womb. The rest will be stored for possible use in the future.

Elsewhere in the discussion, the CBB star revealed she sought help for her son Archie, who struggled to ‘open up’ to his mother following her split from his father, footballer Jamie.

The 2004 Miss England pageant queen was divorced the sportsman in 2014 just two years after they tied the knot when it emerged he’d cheated on her.
