TV star and stand-up comedian Jason Manford has become a dad for the fifth time after welcoming a baby daughter into his life this weekend!

The cheeky Mancunian chappie is already dad to four children with his ex-wife and is overjoyed by the arrival of his first child with current girlfriend, Lucy Dyke.

The proud dad took to Twitter to share his fantastic news with fans and followers and, in classic Jason style, couldn't resist making a joke about the new arrival's name!

The former 8 Out Of 10 Cats star tweeted: "What a week! After a worrying few days at St.Mary's Hospital in Manchester, I would like to welcome Arnie Van Damme Sergio Yaya Barry Bat-Manford to the world. A beautiful 7 pound 10 girl! Mum and baby doing very well!"

We can only imagine how excited Jason's son and other three daughters are about the new arrival, especially since the little ones have been waiting since the festive season for the appearance of their little sister, with Jason revealing that the little girl was actually due on Christmas Day!

Congratulations to the entire family!
