Peter and Emily Andre have shared their sweet nickname for their youngest baby.

It took the couple a month to settle on a name for their newest family member, finally announcing her as Arabella Rose Andrea a month after she was born on Tuesday, 2 April. In a heartwarming new video shared on social media, NHS doctor Emily has revealed an adorable nickname for their third child together.

Making the most of the warmer weather, Emily posted a video of the little one dressed in a vibrant feather-patterned sleepsuit (available from Fred and Noah for £22 here) with the caption "Little Belle watching the kids play water balloons", followed by a red heart emoji.

Peter, known for his hit 'Mysterious Girl', previously told OK! that he had been calling the newborn "bubba" while he and Emily were still deciding on a name. Before officially registering her as Arabella Rose Andrea, he mentioned that Athena, Olivia and Charlotte were also contenders.

In his latest column, the father of five expressed: "Arabella is now seven weeks old where has the time gone? I still haven't called Arabella by her name. I absolutely love it and she really suits it but I still call her 'bubba'". He also gave an update on the challenging early days of sleep deprivation, something he's well acquainted with as a father to Arabella's four older siblings - Millie, 10, Theo, seven, and Princess, 16, and Junior, 18, from his previous marriage to Katie Price.

"As for sleeping, night and day are blurring into one at the moment. Ems is definitely getting less sleep than me because of the breastfeeding but we try to split the nights as much as possible."

"Emily and I are hoping for a little date night soon but our focus is just on the kids at the moment. With all five of them living in the house, they all have different demands. It's busy, but I wouldn't change it for the world." Peter revealed that he gave his wife Emily, who he wed in 2015, the final say on their baby's name. "A couple of weeks ago I said to Emily that it was down to her to pick a baby name after all, she'd brought our baby into the world. Emily wanted us to decide together, but when she came up with the name Arabella Rose, I immediately thought, "That's so beautiful."
