Love Island's Chyna Mills and Strictly Come Dancing's Neil Jones have welcomed their first child together.

Strictly professional Neil, 41, and Love Islander Chyna, 24, began dating in 2022 and are now proud parents of a baby girl.

The pair announced her birth as they shared the first picture of their little one on Instagram.

Alongside an adorable black and white snap of their baby's feet, Chyna wrote: "Our hearts are so full", along with a white love heart emoji.

The couple also shared the happy news with HELLO!, as Neil said: "Mum and baby are doing really well, she's everything we hoped for and more."

Messages of congratulations soon flooded in from celeb pals and Neil's Strictly co-stars.

Gorka Marquez gushed: "Congrats guys", while Nadiya Bychkova said "Congratulations" and sent a series of love heart emojis, as did other pro dancers Dianne Buswell and Karen Hauer.

Love Island star Demi Jones gushed: "Awww!! Congratulations!", while Dami Hope sweetly wrote: "Omgggg she’s here congrats."

Chyna and Neil got engaged earlier this year and revealed they were expecting their first child in April.

Before Chyna gave birth, Neil opened up about becoming a father for the first time and how they were prepared if their baby arrived during a live show of Strictly Come Dancing.

Speaking to OK! in an exclusive interview, Neil said that he was prepared if Chyna gave birth during Strictly – although said he would be telling her to "hold on as long as she can".

"Chyna wants to give birth now – she's ready to go. We don’t know what’s going to happen but if it happens during a live show, we’re ready for that. It would be nice if it happened in a moment when I had a bit of time off but I'm really excited.

"I've got so many nieces and nephews already and the good thing is that we've had time to prepare for everything. Strictly is really supportive."

He also said that he's ready for the sleepless nights that come with fatherhood – having faced many as a professional dancer.

"People say, 'Are you ready for not sleeping?' And I’m like, 'I’m a dancer, I’m used to it,'" he said. "You could get 10 hours of sleep but you'll have a routine on your mind."
