Charlotte Dawson, daughter of comedian Les Dawson, has given birth to her first child with fiancé Matt Sarsfield.

The couple welcomed a baby boy on Tuesday 26 January, with Sarsfield sharing the happy news to social media.

The 28-year-old reality star had already informed her fans she had gone into labour with a snap taken in the hospital and her partner confirmed their son had arrived safely hours later.

“Welcome to the world son!” he wrote. “You have my heart forever! So proud of @charlottedawsy bringing this little man into the world! Words can’t describe how we are feeling right now. Thanks for all the messages.”

Dawson found out she was expecting a baby boy during a gender reveal event last September.

His birth comes one week before what would've been Les' 90th birthday.

After announcing her pregnancy, Dawson expressed sadness that the funnyman wouldn't get to meet his grandchild.

"It breaks my heart that my baby will never meet him, but if it's a boy he'll live in him and if it's a girl, he'll live in her.

"You never know, he could be coming back as the baby like a reincarnation," she told The Sun.

Dawson was just 18 months old when her famous dad died suddenly in 1993 from a heart attack aged 62.

She recently shared a poem entitled "My Grandad in Heaven" that she had framed to place in the infant's nursery.

"Love this beautiful poem on our little mans nursery windowsill 👼🏼✨💙 can’t wait for him to get to know his grandad les through videos & pictures 👼🏼✨💙 wish he was here so much," Dawson wrote.
