He captioned the sweet snap to his 145,000 followers ‘So chilled like her Mummy’ and added two pink love hearts.

The TV presenter shared a picture of himself proudly holding the newborn in the delivery room on Instagram on the day she was born.

Jeremy wrote: ‘She’s finally here… Iris Rose Victoria Kyle arrived today at 12.31pm weighing 7lb 6oz.

‘Mummy was absolutely incredible and we are just so blessed to have our beautiful new daughter.’

Jeremy revealed in September last year that he was to become a father for the sixth time as his wife Victoria was pregnant with their second child.

The broadcaster shared the news that he was set to welcome a daughter in the coming months, after he and Victoria welcomed their son Oliver, in 2020.

Speaking to The Sun, Jeremy said he and Victoria, who he married in 2021, were ‘over the moon’ to be welcoming another child early in 2024, adding his family would be ‘complete’.

As well as son Oliver, Jeremy is father to daughters Harriet, 33, Alice, 20, Ava, 18, and son Henry, 13, who he shares with ex-wife Carla Germaine.

Jeremy revealed Vicky suffered a devastating miscarriage last year soon after announcing they were expecting their baby, before she fell pregnant with Iris.

He said he and wife Victoria were on an ’emotional rollercoaster’ after she had the miscarriage in March.

The couple endured another miscarriage in 2019 before they went on to welcome their son Oliver.

Victoria opened up about the first loss, when she was eight weeks pregnant, saying doctors had to sadly inform her that they couldn’t find the baby’s heartbeat in the early scan.

She told the Mirror: ‘It was devastating. People say, “It’s so early, it’s just a bunch of cells”, but as a woman you can’t help but get attached to what’s going on in your body.’

They were given false hope when Victoria went for a procedure to remove the foetus and were told there was a heartbeat after all.

But a week later the couple was told it would not be possible to go on with the pregnancy.

Jeremy said: ‘The second miscarriage was the hardest for Vic. Because we’d had one before, we tried not to get excited. It was an emotional rollercoaster.’

Victoria said that during a reiki healing session she got a message from Jeremy’s late mother Nanette, who died six years ago, insisting the couple would have a baby girl.

She explained: ‘The lady kept saying she could see pink and we were going to have a girl. She said, “I can see you holding a little girl’s hand with Oliver. The little girl has got a dress on that has bright red roses all over it”.

‘Jez’s mum’s favourite flower was a red rose – she had red roses everywhere in her garden. It felt like that was his mum saying there’s going to be a little girl coming along.’

Jeremy added that once they’d moved home, Victoria placed an order for some duvet sets and pillows and in the middle of the package was a pair of pink dungarees which they had not ordered.

Victoria was at this point already pregnant with their baby girl.
