Joe Wicks has revealed his newborn daughter’s name as he shared an adorable photo of the little one on Instagram.

The Body Coach announced his wife Rosie had welcomed their third child on Thursday with a heart-warming post that saw their other children, Indie, three, and Marley, two, meeting their new sibling.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the 36-year-old posted another snap of their baby daughter sleeping in a cotton blanket and confirmed her name.

"Hello world. My name is Leni Blossom Wicks,” he wrote.

Friends, family and fans commented in their droves to congratulate the pair.

Former One Show host Matt Baker commented under the post: "Welcome to the world Leni Blossom Congrats to all the Wicks family love all the Bakers."

"Ooohhhh what a cutie," Charlotte Crosby wrote.

A fan wrote: "Hey there Leni Blossom Wicks, what a beautiful name your parents have chosen for you. Welcome to the world."

On Friday, Wicks revealed that Rosie had given birth to their daughter, writing: “It’s a girl! Rosie gave birth at 4.32am this morning at home to an 8lb healthy baby in the birthing pool.

“Thank you to Emily & Helen our wonderful midwives who were there every step of the way. Time to rest now. Lots of love the Wicks family.”

Wicks first revealed on Wednesday that his other half had gone into labour as he shared a photo of a home birthing pool.

He excitedly declared: “And we’re off! Indie and Marley are asleep upstairs. Could be waking up with a new baby!”

Just a few hours earlier, the social media star’s other half had shared an image of her heavily pregnant frame, and jokingly compared herself to a bowling ball.

However, Wicks couldn’t help but share his awe and admiration for her, remarking: “Just amazes me that there is a human being growing in here. With a little brain, heart and lungs.

“The female body is just an incredible, magnificent creation isn’t it. The ability to create new life. What is more beautiful and special than that.”

Wicks became a household name during the pandemic after posting daily YouTube videos of PE Lessons for families to take part in.

In 2021, he claimed a Guinness World Record after one of his online fitness classes was watched by nearly a million people.

His workouts also raised £580,000 for the NHS and he was awarded an MBE for his charity efforts and helping children keep active and mentally fit.
