Congratulations are in order for Big Brother's first ever winner Craig Phillips and his wife Laura, as they have welcomed their second child into the world.

The star has been updating fans about his other half's pregnancy on his Instagram, and confirmed the birth via his Instagram Stories, sharing a photograph of himself in hospital holding a baby's car seat.

"Guess what?" he wrote in the caption, and while he was wearing a mask, you could tell he had a massive grin underneath.

Craig welcomed his first child, Nelly, with Laura last year, becoming a first-time father at the age of 47.

The reality show winner was back in the spotlight again this year after his iconic confrontation with 'Nasty' Nick Bateman over the latter's (quite tame nowadays) cheating was rebroadcast as part of Big Brother: Best Shows Ever.

That led to a lot of rumours that Craig would be taking part in this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing. Obviously that didn't come to pass, which is just as well as it would clash with the baby's birth, but he'd definitely be up for it, especially as his wife has a dancing background.

Earlier this year, Craig told Digital Spy that he is on good terms with Nick now, and they actually met up a few years ago in Australia and had a laugh looking back at the scandal they were involved in.
