The couple decided not to find out with they were having a little boy of girl ahead of the birth but are delighted to have welcomed a daughter.

Joe and Rosie are yet to announce their daughter's name but we hope they won't keep us wait too long! Perhaps they'll opt for an unusual baby name that is food related or maybe they'll head to the top baby names list of 2018 for some inspiration...
