Helen Flanagan and Scott Sinclair have shared some adorable first photos of their new daughter Matilda.

The former Coronation Street star and the footballer have welcomed their first child and shared snaps of her on Instagram after her safe arrival.

Actress Helen also changed her Instagram bio to “Helen Flanagan Loving mummy to Matilda Sinclair”.

Her first photo, showing her fresh faced and cradling Matilda, was captioned “My everything”.

Next, she posted a shot of Scott with his newborn daughter, captioned “The man I love and our world”.

Helen also showed off a photo of her baby in one of her first outfits, revealing her full name in the caption “Matilda Jessica Sinclair my beautiful little girl x”.

Proud dad Scott also posted about their happy news and shared a family photo, captioned “Best day of my life welcome to the world Matilda Jessica Sinclair”.

Almost a week earlier, Helen had posted that she was already a week overdue, writing: “My baby is one week over due!! Can’t wait to hold our baby girl or baby boy @scotty_sinclair11 ❤️x”.

The couple also received congratulations from family, friends and fans, including one from Helen’s on-screen sister Brooke Vincent who plays Sophie Webster in Corrie…

…and another from her real-life sister Jessica, whose name has been used for baby Matilda’s middle name.

More of Helen’s former Corrie stars also offered their good wishes.
