Peter Andre and his wife Emily MacDonagh have announced they have named their new baby girl Arabella Rose Andrea.

The singer and TV star confirmed his wife chose the name for their newest arrival in a post on Instagram this morning - a month after she was born.

He wrote: "I think you've chosen a beautiful name @dr_emily_official. Arabella Rose Andrea.

"I LOVE it. and I love her... and you of course."

The post included two images - one of Arabella sleeping while wrapped in a white blanket, and another of her tiny feet.

"A name I suggested to you both. Such a beautiful name. Little Bella. Perfect," wrote one person in response.

Andre has four other children. They include seven-year-old son, Theo, and daughter, Amelia, 10, whom he shares with MacDonagh.

He also has an 18-year-old son Junior and daughter Princess, 16 - whom he shares with his ex-wife, Katie Price.

Andre married MacDonagh, a doctor, in 2015 and the couple welcomed their third child on 2 April.

They had spoken about struggling to decide on a name at the time.

Announcing his daughter's arrival last month, Andre wrote on Instagram: "Baby has been spoilt with cuddles from Junior, Princess, Amelia and Theo who are all in love with their new little sister. As parents, we couldn't be happier.

"Only thing is... She has no name yet. Help!"

Andre asked fans in the caption if they had any ideas and hundreds of people responded.

Weeks later he updated followers, writing: "The love I have for our baby is one thing. The love I have for Emily is another love altogether.

"What an incredible mum she is and what a truly beautiful gift she has given us. We all love bubba so much. And she STILL has no name."

The couple announced their pregnancy news in October last year.

Andre is known for hits including Mysterious Girl, Flava and Insania in the 1990s and 2000s, as well as appearances on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! And Strictly Come Dancing.

Discussing nostalgia and looking back at changes in the music industry, Andre told Sky News in an interview this week: "If you look at the 80s, specifically, superstars were superstars.

"If Madonna was on the radio, you knew it was Madonna. If Michael Jackson came on the radio, you knew it was Michael Jackson.

"Now there are great songs out there, but you don't know who's who unless you're in with what's going on on social media. So, it's a different time."
