Little Mix have led the stream of congratulatory messages for Perrie Edwards, who has given birth to her first child.
Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock was among the first stars to congratulate Perrie Edwards on the birth of her first child.
The Confetti singer and her boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain announced the arrival of their little one on Sunday with adorable black and white photos of the newborn’s face, hands and feet.
Leading the stream of congratulatory messages, Leigh-Anne wrote: ‘I am so proud of you and I love you so much 🥺 what an angel ❤️❤️😍😍.’
Their bandmate Jade Thirlwall is yet to comment on the happy news but no doubt she’s busy cooing over the sweet photos.
Love Island presenter Laura Whitmore also passed on her well wishes to the family and said: ‘Welcome baby!’
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner Giovanna Fletcher wrote: ‘Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Huge huge huge congratulations! Wonderful news! Xxxxxx.’
Loose Women star Stacey Solomon chimed in: ‘[Omg] congratulations darling love you lots and lots.’
Ex-Love Island star Chris Hughes, who previously dated Perrie’s former bandmate Jesy Nelson, commented: ‘Congrats team @alexoxchamberlain.’
Former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison wrote: ‘Congratulations beautiful girl 😍.’

Amanda Holden left a string of heart emoji while Leigh-Anne’s sister Sairah Pinnock, who announced the arrival of her second child just hours before, cheered on: ‘You did it girl.’
Perrie and Alex, both 27, are yet to share the baby’s gender and name, and simply announced the news with the photos while writing: ‘Welcome to the world baby 21/08/21.’
The couple announced they were expecting their first child in May, just days after Perrie’s bandmate Leigh-Anne revealed she was pregnant.
