This Morning expert and psychologist Emma Kenny has welcomed her fourth child at the age of 52. Emma took to Instagram to announce the arrival of her baby daughter Ella-Grey and shared a string of sweet photos.

Taking to social media, Emma announced: "Say hi Ella-Grey And then we were six! Say hello Ella-Grey! This morning she entered the world with a very loud cry. The Royal Bolton hospital have been fantastic and ensured that we have both been looked after brilliantly."

However, Ella-Grey's arrival was tinged with sadness for Emma as she had just lost her mum "suddenly". Explaining more about her loss, she said: "I lost my mum suddenly a couple of weeks back, and it’s really strange knowing that neither of my babies will get to know their grandparents…..they would have loved them as older my boys did before them."

Emma welcomed her first two children two decades ago - two boys - and she now has two younger children, one 23 months and oen just born, and both of them are girls.

"Ella-Grey has been lying on me all day, she latched on immediately and is as wonderful as I imagined she would be…..but like her sister…..I am blindsided that she is a girl," she said.

"So, now I have two very big boys of 20 and 22, and two tiny girls aged 1 day and 23 months." She explained she had struggled in the wake of her father's sad death and thought she would never be happy again.

"When my dad took his life in 2019, I never thought I would be happy again, but in truth I couldn’t have been more wrong, I’ve learnt we are more than simply built to withstand suffering, we are programmed to learn, and grow, and develop courage through it. I cannot change what happened but I can embrace the gifts that grief brought me," she wrote.

To conclude her post, she thanked those who had stood by her in the dark times. She said: "Thank you to all of you who have spent years supporting me. You stood beside me in the dark times and you gave me so many new career directions that these days I don’t need invites off the MSM! Thank you, all of you, for so much more than you could possibly know xxx."
