Love Island winner Jack Fincham has announced the birth of his baby.

The 28-year-old, from Swanley, took to Instagram to share a picture of his daughter Blossom to his two million followers.

Jack, a former pen salesman who shot to fame on the ITV show after winning it with ex-girlfriend Dani Dyer, kept the news secret until the the 8lb baby was born yesterday.

The reality star revealed he isn't in a relationship with Blossom's mother, but has been friends with her for many years.

He said: "I’m normally a very open book and share most of my life on my social media.

"This blessing I chose not to. I’m just a normal geezer, who went on a tv show, which throws you straight into the public eye, which I will forever be grateful for.

"However I knew for myself I needed personal time and to keep this part of my life private to prepare for this new responsibility and part of me that will change my life forever.

"This is undoubtedly the best thing that has ever happened to me and it’s true what they say, the instant feeling of love and connection you have with your child is a feeling like no other.

"I want to thank my family and friends for your continued support, also to my little girls mother, who has been totally amazing throughout.

"Although we are not together we are great friends as we have been for many years and our priority is co-parenting our beautiful baby girl. Both mum and baby are doing great.

"I am now a proud dad to a healthy baby girl Blossom Fincham."
