TV star Helen Skelton and former Wire star Richie Myler have announced the name of their new baby.

The pair, who used to live in Warrington, welcome a baby girl to the family on December 28.

Baby Elsie, will be a welcome addition to the family with big brothers – Ernie, six, and Louis, four.

The little girl outweighed her brothers at birth, at 7lb 8oz- despite being three days before her due date.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, Helen said: "If Elsie is outdoorsy and adventurous, that's great.

"If it turns out she wants to sit inside and do other stuff as she grows up, that's cool too.

"I am a great believer in doing what makes you happy. I was brought up on a farm, and my mum and dad never pushed me into anything, but always instilled in me the belief that if you want to do something then go for it."
