Lucy Watson has announced the name of her newborn son following his arrival just a couple of days ago, with her having only teased the first initial 'W' ahead of his birth last week.

The reality TV star, 33, and her husband James Dunmore, 34 - who are former cast members of Made in Chelsea - welcomed their baby into the world on Saturday. The couple shared the news with fans on Instagram recently.

They were met with well wishes and Lucy has since shared an update. Announcing their son's name, she shared a photo of him and wrote on Tuesday evening: "Willoughby James Watson-Dunmore welcome to the world."

She later revealed that the photo, which showed Willoughby in a white outfit, had been taken just hours after his birth. Lucy wrote on her Instagram Story about it: "3 hours after he was born. So much relief in knowing he was okay."

Someone else said: "Congratulations. Such a lovely name." A third person reacted: "Adore his name." "What a beautiful name. Congratulations," another person wrote in their response to the post. Whilst someone said: "Congratulations! He is absolutely gorgeous and [he has] a wonderful name." Another fan said: "Love the name."

Lucy and James - who got married in 2021 - announced the birth of their son Willoughby in a joint post to their followers on Sunday. It included a black and white photo of Lucy cradling their son, whilst James placed a kiss on his wife's forehead. The caption read: "He's here. 2/3/24."

Last month, Lucy teased that they were planning to give their child a name with the first initial 'W'. She shared a photo of herself modelling a necklace that featured the letter and commented: "Little hint for baby's name." As reported by the Mirror at the time, Lucy told fans that the couple were "90% sure" of the name they had decided. She described it as "very uncommon but traditional at the same time," adding: "I'm sure [of it] but James isn't 100% but I'm the decisive one and he hates making decisions."

Lucy further shared in a Q&A ahead of her son's arrival that she was "nervous" for the birth. She's quoted as having said in response to a fan who asked if she was "nervous" about it: "Yes!! The bigger he grows the more excited I get, but there's always that voice in the back of my head [saying] 'he's going to have to come out of there at some point' and it does terrify me."
