In her caption, Ms Walsh revealed the baby had actually arrived the previous week.

Ms Walsh and Mr Smith's romance began in 2019 when they crossed paths while in the Strictly Come Dancing audience.
The Emmerdale star was there cheering on her co-star Kelvin Fletcher, while Mr Smith attended to support his EastEnders colleague Emma Barton.
The couple have previously spoken about how destiny played a role in their meeting, noting that Mr Fletcher was a late addition to the Strictly lineup after Made In Chelsea's Jamie Laing injured his ankle.
Their relationship progressed swiftly, and Mr Smith proposed during a romantic trip to Ibiza in August 2022.
Just weeks later, in September 2023, the pair exchanged vows at a picturesque ceremony in Montenegro surrounded by loved ones.
Ms Walsh first revealed her pregnancy to fans last September through a touching black and white video set to Nick Drake's Northern Sky.
The footage captured the moment she broke the news to daughter Bonnie, telling her: "Mummy and daddy have got a special secret to tell you. Mummy has got a baby in her tummy. A baby sister or brother for you."
The clip showed all three family members' hands moving to reveal an ultrasound image, with the caption announcing "Smith/Walsh baby 2.0 incoming 2026."
On Boxing Day, the couple confirmed they were having another daughter through a festive gender reveal.
A video showed a football being kicked, which burst into pink smoke as the words "Girl power coming in 2026" appeared on screen.
