Radcliffe glamour model Rhian Sugden has revealed the adorable and traditional name she has given her newborn baby son.
The 37-year-old welcomed baby George into the world, with her actor husband Oliver Mellor, just over a week ago.
In an Instagram post, with a picture of the sleeping tot, she wrote: "George Mellor, the love of my life."
Rhian revealed she was pregnant last November, after enduring eight rounds and six years of IVF fertility treatment.
Baby George was born a week before his due date of May 4, weighing 8lb 7oz.
When Rhian was in her early 30s, tests showed that she had such a low egg count and perimenopausal hormone levels that she and Oliver only had a three per cent chance of conceiving naturally.
The former Coney High School pupil and Oliver, 43, who appeared in Coronation Street as Dr Matt Carter, feared they would never become parents.
At the time, Rhian said: "I thought I'd never have children, that Oliver would leave me to have a baby with someone else, and I'd die alone."
But now a delighted Rhian has shared several photographs of baby George, including one of him in a Moses basket with Oliver, their dog and cat captioned: "All my boys! My life is complete!"
The couple met in 2013 and married five years later.
They spent £130,000 on seven rounds of IVF and almost gave up.
But in August, they decided to give IVF one last try, however, Rhian was left in tears after being told both of the eggs that were being transferred were of low quality.
Despite fearing that this round would fail too, Rhian found out she was pregnant nine days later.
Congratulations to the happy family!
