A third photo saw Jermaine in the hospital, decked out in scrubs.

He wrote alongside the photos on Instagram: ‘Jacob Anthony Jenas, 08.10.21 You have no idea how loved you are! Good luck with three big sisters though!!’

Ellie joined her husband as she posted: ‘Our beautiful son has arrived Jacob Anthony Jenas 8.10.21. we love you so much (sic)’

‘Enjoy some time off, no sleep for you Jermaine!’
