The 34-year-old actress - who played Stacey Shipman in BBC One sitcom Gavin & Stacey - and her actor husband James Thornton welcomed daughter Eva Madelief Russell into the world on Friday at St Mary's Hospital.

Eva's middle name Madelief is a Dutch moniker, meaning Daisy.

The couple - who have been married for 10 years - also took to the social networking site to announce the pregnancy in September last year.
Joanna wrote: "Happy news! James + I are delighted to announce that we're expecting a baby! X"
James, 37, tweeted something similar, writing: "Happy news! Jo + I are delighted to announce we're expecting a baby! X"
