The tot is her second child with beau Daniel – who recently served a year in Wandsworth prison, after he was found guilty of stashing £116,000 in ill-gotten gains in his daughter’s bedroom.
In March, Cara revealed Daniel had left prison just weeks after he was slapped with a two-year sentence for stashing ill-gained cash. She took to Instagram to share a selfie with Penelope while writing: ‘Daddy we’re waiting… it’s hometime’.
Cara’s amazing news comes after she suffered a miscarriage in 2015, two months after announcing her pregnancy. After news surfaced, she and Daniel were said to be inconsolable following the loss of their first child during its second trimester.
In a statement her representative confirmed: ‘It is with great sadness that I must inform you, that last week Cara Kilbey suffered a late miscarriage. Cara was over five months pregnant when she lost her baby.

The doting couple could hardly contain their delight at the arrival of Penelope Blu in February last year as she announced the news via Twitter, penning: ‘Welcome to the World… Penelope Blu Harris 12.02.2016 9lb2oz,’
Her representative told MailOnline: ‘Cara and Daniel are thrilled to welcome Penelope Blu Harris to the world, she weighed 9lb 2oz and both mother and baby are doing well.’
Cara revealed her pregnancy with Penelope when she was 22 weeks gone after months of nervousness due to her tragic loss earlier that year. She told Closer magazine: ‘Daniel and I knew we wanted to get pregnant again straight away so I was overjoyed when I found out I was expecting two months later.

‘We went through an awful time together, and I can see how something that traumatic can break a couple. But we saw a different, more caring side to each other and it brought us so much closer. I’ll never forget my first baby, it’ll always be part of our family, but now we can’t wait to become parents.’
Daniel, who served a year of his spell in Wandsworth prison, was accused of masterminding a drugs empire yet was cleared of drugs charges and found guilty of stashing £116,000 in ill-gotten gains hidden in his daughter’s bedroom.
Cara, who starred on the ITVBe show for four seasons before departing in 2012, was waiting patiently while her partner languished in jail, shortly after the birth of Penelope.

Daniel was accused of making ‘vast profits’ by sending drug couriers on mopeds disguised as trainee cab drivers around central London over three-and-a-half years. He was also charged over a £200,000 heroin deal which was scuppered by police in May 2015.
An Old Bailey jury deliberated for a day to clear him of plotting to supply cocaine and heroin, but found him guilty of stashing the money.
Police launched a covert surveillance operation tracking Harris’s movements over the course of more than a year before swooping to arrest him in March 2016. The couple have been separated for almost a year when he was taken into custody in early 2016.
The couple met while Harris was living out in Spain with his father and she was on holiday there. They returned to the UK in September 2015 when she fell pregnant.
Other men, some of whom were his friends, went on to plead guilty to their part in the plots and have been jailed for more than 68 years.

Evidence suggested the cocaine gang had a turnover of nearly £500,000 a week at the height of their activities.
They kept it under wraps by hiring an East End flat and lock-up where they stored six scooters and packaged the cocaine after it was cut with benzocaine.
He knew some of his friends were drug dealers and, after being let in on their secret during a ski holiday to Verbier in Switzerland, he made use of the moped delivery service once, he said.
Daniel’s father was arrested in December 2015 for allegedly smuggling drugs from Spain to the UK but he said that he in ‘no way’ had anything to do with it.
Prosecutor Peter Clement told the judge that he had been ‘no mere custodian’ of the money, but arranged for it to be gathered, collected it and kept it for weeks before it was discovered – ‘all with a view to smuggling to another jurisdiction’.
That was then: Daniel was accused of making ‘vast profits’ by sending drug couriers on mopeds disguised as trainee cab drivers around central London over three-and-a-half years. He was also charged over a £200,000 heroin deal which was scuppered by police in May 2015
He acknowledged the offence was not motivated by personal gain, instead arising ‘out of his father’s crisis rather than his own’.
But, he said, an aggravating factor was that the cash was tainted by organised crime and that its intended destination was outside the UK – Spain.
Defending, barrister David Whittaker told the court the unemployed defendant had no money and had not funded the costs of his trial.
Mr Cooke ordered him to pay £4,576 costs to be paid within 56 days and a victim surcharge of £120.
He said he was satisfied that, while Daniel may not be able to pay the sum himself, he could draw upon others for assistance. While three men watched proceedings from the public gallery, the defendant’s TV star girlfriend was nowhere to be seen.
