Seann Walsh’s girlfriend Grace Adderley has welcomed their first child together.

Taking to his Stories, he shared a clip of himself as he sat in the hospital after the birth, saying: ‘Grace has had our baby and I’m sat here in the very relaxing postnatal department, and the staff have been great.

‘The nurses have been coming up to me all morning and congratulating me.’

He then shared a post, which read: ‘Oh btw. I passed out during the birth. Of course I did. The nurse’s response… “Men.” Fair.’

Family affair: Seann Walsh’s girlfriend Grace Adderley has welcomed their first child together, he announced on Instagram on Sunday

Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Seann revealed in October last year that he and his dance teacher girlfriend were having a baby.

Speaking to a friend during an Instagram Live session at the time, Seann told a friend: ‘I’m having a child.’

Seann was then asked by the friend: ‘So you’re gonna be a dad?’, before replying ‘yeah’ – with the unnamed man responding: ‘That’s worrying.’

The funnyman then told his followers: ‘Unbelievable. Everyone else has been really nice, that’s the worst response yet.’

Seann and Grace largely keep their relationship out of the spotlight but they have been together since 2019.

The star hit the headlines when he was pictured kissing his Strictly Come Dancing professional partner Katya Jones in 2018.  

At the time he was in a relationship with now ex-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries while Katya was married to fellow dancer Neil Jones.

It comes after Seann announced he is set to star in his very own sitcom following his successful stint in the I’m A Celeb jungle.

In the sitcom that’s due to hit screens later this year, Seann will play the character of Rowan, with the show’s selling title being: ‘Who would you least want to be your therapist?’
