Love Island star Hayley Hughes has given birth to her second child. 

She revealed that her baby daughter is called Etta as she shared a first picture of her newborn on Instagram on Monday. 

Hayley, 30, wrote: 'Our dream girl is here & we are obsessed. Welcome to this little life my little girl ☁️ We love you so much Etta x x x.'

She gave a glimpse of her baby's nursery which was decorated in muted pink and oatmeal tones and decorated in personalised balloons. 

Hayley has never revealed the identity of her partner - they also share a son together called Cody, two. 

Charlotte Dawson wrote in the comments: 'Perfect!!!! I love her beautiful name congrats my darling a girly just completes you all.'

Danielle Lloyd wrote: 'Congratulations babe she is gorgeous .'

She also recently shared her final bump pictures before she gave birth to baby number two 

And the likes of Georgia Steel, Taylor Ward, Joanna Chimonides and Georgia Harrison all wrote: 'Congratulations.'

Hayley first revealed the gender of her baby back in July, by popping a large balloon that released pink confetti.

The reality starlet - who appeared in the 2018 series of the dating show -  also announced she was engaged in December.

The family are based in Dubai. 

Hayley found fame on season four of Love Island where she dated Eyal Booker before recoupling with Charlie Frederick.

However, her time in the villa was short-lived and she was given her marching orders after 13 days. She later had a seven-month romance with DJ Tom Zanetti before they split.

While brief, Hayley's Love Island stint was memorable, with the reality star going viral after she confessed to not knowing what Brexit was, expressing her fear it would lead to the UK having to cut down their trees.

Following the gaffe, she was invited onto BBC's Daily Politics, and given the chance to quiz journalist Adam Fleming alongside Brexiteer Nigel Farage and Remainer Alastair Campbell.

Her hilarious appearance on the show began with her saying: 'I do care about it I just don't have an understanding, so hopefully Adam will learn me more.'

She then asked the expert: 'In a nutshell, what is Brexit?’

After Fleming explained that the term referred to Britain leaving the EU, she dug a little deeper, asking: 'How will it affect my life and everybody else’s?’

At this point, Campbell waded in, saying 'badly, very badly' while Farage seemed bewildered by her lack of knowledge.

Hayley also pitched the question on everyone's lips as she said: 'Yeah I understand. I've got another question - will it make things more expensive?'

She asked Fleming: ‘Who’s your favourite couple in Love Island?’

He replied: ‘I’ve lost track of who’s coupled up with who...'

But Campbell said he knew ‘absolutely nothing’ about the show and Farage said: ‘I haven’t been a fan but it seems like quite a lot of fun.’

Campbell then brandished a copy of the pro-EU New European paper at the model, who said she wanted ‘younger people to have more of an understanding about Brexit’, adding: ‘Since I got to learning about it I actually find it really interesting.’
