X Factor winner James Arthur has welcomed his first child.
The 34-year-old announced the exciting news via Instagram on Friday.
Sharing a sweet video of his newborn daughter clutching his pinky finger, he wrote: “In the last few days someone made an unexpected arrival…”
James captioned the post: “Dear Emily, welcome to the world…”
A host of famous faces took to the comment section to congratulate the singer on the birth of his daughter.
Pixie Lott wrote: “Wowww congrats James!!! ❤️🙌,” while Capital FM DJ Chris Stark commented: “Aww congratulations mate.”
Amanda Holden simply commented: “❤️,” and Samantha Harvey wrote: “Congratulations how exciting for you! ❤️❤️.”
James named his newborn daughter Emily as a touching tribute to the loss of his unborn daughter with his then-girlfriend Jessica Girsts due to an ectopic pregnancy.
Prior to the pregnancy loss, the 34-year-old had penned a song titled Emily.
The singer previously revealed he “should’ve waited longer” to write the song.
