Kristina Rihanoff and Ben Cohen have welcomed their first child together.

Rihanoff, 38, gave birth to a baby girl this week.

The couple announced the news of their "beautiful" daughter in a statement to HELLO.

"Ben and Kristina are delighted to confirm they are the parents of a beautiful baby girl," it read.

"They would like to thank friends and family for all their kind wishes at this happy time."

Rihanoff announced she was pregnant in January during her stay in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The professional dancer shocked her fellow housemates with the news that she was three months pregnant.

"I thought it’s very private news, you know but because we are living as one family now and everybody is sort of supporting one another now, it happened to be that I found that my boyfriend and I are going to have a little one," she said.
