Celia Pacquola and her partner Dara Munnis have welcomed their first child!

The comedian gave birth to an adorable baby girl, and she broke the news on her Instagram.

She proudly wrote in her caption: “Our mystery guest has arrived. Hello Eleanor Jessica. 3 kilos of wonderful. Thank you to all the incredible staff at @epworthbabies and @dr_stephencole for taking such good care of us.

“And thanks to @daramunnis for the 📸 and the 👶 and the ❤️. (The last photo is the post birth meal I ordered with an extra slider which makes it look like I ordered a burger for the baby).”

The beloved television star revealed she was expecting in late March.

Celia announced the news with her signature sense of humour by posting a picture of her holding a Doctor Who onesie over her growing belly, which she followed with a snap of her ultrasound.

She captioned her post, “Whoever had ‘Celia gets pregnant’ on their Unprecedented Events bingo card, you can cross it off now. Wild. I’m very happy, and yes I miss wine.”

The mum-to-be then credited her photographer partner Dara Munnis for taking the pic and for his contribution by posting the emojis, “📸 & 👶 @daramunnis.”

“Also please consider this my official audition to be the next Doctor Who as I currently have two hearts,” she joked.

Dara proudly reposted Celia’s post on his Instagram stories and gushed, “2022 is going to be all sorts of amazing.”

Celia kept her pregnancy rather lowkey, but in July, she debuted her baby bump on the show Have You Been Paying Attention.

She looked gorgeous in a green wrap dress that accentuated her growing belly and also posted a picture of herself with her panel show co-stars and host Tom Gleisner.

Congratulations to the new parents!
