Gaz Beadle and Emma McVey welcome second child

Gaz Beadle and Emma McVey have welcomed their second child.

The former \'Geordie Shore\' star took to Instagram to reveal that Emma gave birth to a baby girl on Sunday (15.12.19), writing: "Xmas just came early, what an amazing night."

Gaz, 31, and Emma already have 23-month-old son Chester together and Emma admitted leaving Chester was the hardest part about giving birth.

She wrote on Instagram: "Chester was asleep and is absolutely fine with his granddad which was my biggest panic, leaving him. Baby girl is doing great and I was not shocked she made an early appearance."

Emma also praised Gaz for his support, writing: "You have been amazing and my absolute rock... he\'s finally put his head down to get some read after forcing him."

Just last month, Gaz announced that he and Emma are engaged after he popped the question.

He shared a photo of himself kissing Emma as she showed off her diamond engagement ring and wrote: "SHE SAID YES [ring emoji] (sic)"

Emma shared the same photo on her own account and wrote: "We have a crazy, exciting couple of years on the way.."

And Gaz recently claimed he is now "basically retired" and has stopped partying.

He said: "We\'re too old to party as much as we used to. We\'ve realised there\'s more to life than all of that.

"I\'m basically retired. People think I\'m Gaz who wants to get p***ed all the time. But I\'m more likely to be in the queue for soft play than a club these days. I\'ve only had one night out this year and I was home by 1am."

Gaz admitted becoming a dad has proven to be a turning point in his life, and he\'s thankful not to be on TV anymore.

He said: "I used to go out 300 nights a year.

"I was filming the show and after each series I\'d do 60 club appearances. I was knackered and I didn\'t really have a life.

"Then I took a year out to be a dad. I was offered TV shows and turned them down. I thought, \'I don\'t want to do the whole celebrity thing anymore, go and get f***ed\'.

"I wanted to be a dad. Being out of the TV bubble\'s been amazing."
