Big Brother stars Grace Adams-Short and Mikey Dalton have welcomed their fourth child 16 years after meeting on the Channel 4 reality series.

The couple, who entered the Big Brother house in 2006, alongside the likes of legends Pete Bennett, Imogen Thomas, and Nikki Grahame, said their family is now ‘complete’ after the arrival of their fourth baby named Atticus Henry Dalton, arriving on January 3.

They also share Georgiana, 10, Spencer, six, and daughter Allegra, three.

Mike and Grace were one of the first Big Brother romances and are easily the longest lasting.

After both leaving the Borehamwood Bungalow separately, they were engaged four months after their stint and later wed in 2009.

Speaking to OK!, Grace laughed: ‘It’s funny as people keep asking if we’re having any more and I’m like, “We’ve just had a baby and four is a big number!”’

Grace revealed Atticus’s birth was difficult and due to a life-threatening condition during pregnancy, had to be induced early.

‘I had to be induced early as I had a condition called anti-C, which can cause complications with the baby’s antibodies,’ she told the publication.

‘I never had it with my other pregnancies, it was stressful. All through the pregnancy I had to give blood every two weeks.’

Before the arrival of Atticus, the couple said they were ‘shocked’ how quickly they fell pregnant after deciding they wanted another baby.

Grace and Mikey’s news comes as calls for Big Brother to return have only got even louder following another January without the antics from the Borehamwood Bungalow.

Even Rylan Clark has called for its return, with many fans longing for the CBB winner to take over as main host while Alison Hammond presents Bit On The Side.
