Irish TV presenter Amanda Byram has welcomed her second child at the age of 51 in what she called a ‘surprise’ labour.

The Total Wipeout presenter announced the happy – yet surprise – news on Valentine’s Day in a social media post.

‘And just like that, we are four… Introducing the most wonderful, gentle, soul, Jett Indy Byram Okines,’ she wrote.

‘Jett’s recent arrival was quite the surprise – as my wonderfully low key pregnancy was suddenly interrupted when my waters broke a month early… and 36 hours later, my second little man powered into our lives like he had been here forever!!

‘We know that we are beyond lucky to have a second miracle in our lives, and feel so grateful to all the magnificent doctors and nurses who aided us in our IVF journey.

‘It was long, exhausting, and utterly devastating at times, but I wouldn’t change a single thing given that it all led me here to my two incredible boys… one my heart and the other my soul.

‘I hope sharing this can be a source of inspiration for those parents in-waiting… I know the odds are against us but it can happen!!’
