We LOVE the name.

Former RTE presenter Emma O’Driscoll has announced that she has given birth to her first child – two weeks ago.

The former Six pop star shared on Tuesday evening that she and her husband, Liam Cronin, welcomed a baby girl on August 7. 2018.

She shared a photo of the newborn, wrapped in a pink blanket, with her hand placed in her mum’s.

The new mum captioned the picture:

“Our beautiful baby daughter Willow Rose Cronin is 2weeks old already today. Time is flying by. We are head over heels in love with her.”

Emma married husband Liam Cronin in 2012.

The pair met while the presenter was working on RTE’s The Disney Show – O’Driscoll had replaced Mary Kingston as one of the presenters of the morning children’s TV show.

Before that, Emma auditioned for RTE’s talent show, Popstars. 

She became one of the members of pop group Six, who shot to the top of the charts with their single, Whole Lotta Loving. 

Soon afterwards, the group broke up and Emma turned her hand towards presenting and pantomime.

The mum also set up a stage school, Gemstars School of Performing Arts, where she teaches children how to perform, sing and dance.
