In happy news for Gogglebox fans, Sarah-Marie and Matty Fahd have announced they’ve welcomed their first child – a baby boy called Malik George Fahd.
In a touching post, Matty announced the birth, writing, “Today, the 13.11.19, my heart is full Malik, I will love and protect you for the rest of my days. I will be there to lift you up and to catch you when you fall, to give you the confidence to be comfortable with who you are no matter the circumstance, to always be a real man, in the truest sense of the word. I love you my son, forever. “
Matty was overjoyed about the arrival.

While Matty didn’t reveal details of the birth in the post, the couple previously revealed plans for a C-section after the procedure was recommended to Sarah-Marie, due to the fact she has previously suffered a brain haemorrhage.
“My obstetrician and neurosurgeon prefer I have a caesarean which means our baby may be born a bit earlier than planned,” the Gogglebox star previously told news.com.au
“Of course it’s scary and the healing takes longer but I am happy with whatever is safest for me and the baby.”

Posting an image of her burgeoning baby belly on Instagram, Sarah-Marie made a candid confession about her pregnancy that many mums-to-be can relate to.
She revealed that she was suffering from eczema on her upper left arm, had sunken eyes, dry skin and lips as well as bruised swollen bleeding gums and was “tired 24/7”.
“Not everyone glows when they are pregnant,” Sarah-Marie added.
“Some of us go through a phase where we feel more like a ghost in a shell, not ourselves and you can’t help feel ugly and dull.”
Sarah-Marie has been candid about her pregnancy journey and revealed it hasn’t always been sunshine and roses.

“If my baby is healthy that’s all that matters, of course. But this message is more for pregnant women out there who are going through the same thing,” she penned.
“You are not alone! It’s all worth it for the blessing of a child.”
Congratulations of the newest addition to the Gogglebox family!
