THE X Factor star Rebecca Ferguson has given birth after keeping her pregnancy a secret.
The singer, 36, and her husband Jonny Hughes have announced they have welcomed their first child together.
Rebecca shared a snap of her new arrival with the caption: “Surprise! Turns out I can keep a secret. Born on Valentines Day.”
She did not reveal the name or gender of her baby.
Rebecca is already a mum to three kids, Lillie-May, Karl and Arabella, from previous relationships.
Rebecca and Jonny got engaged in January 2022 after being together for seven years.
They wed in December, with Rebecca calling it her “happily ever after”.
In a social media post to Jonny back in 2021, she praised how he changed her view on men.
She wrote: “I was too scared to ever date again, then you found me and held my hand through every step of trust,Loved me and my children like they were your own and helped me to grow as a person ..
forever grateful 
I you xxx”
Rebecca has dated One Direction’s Zayn Malik in the past after they met through the ITV talent competition.
She has also been famously critical of her time on the music juggernaut.
Rebecca claimed she was fed “pills before bed” and told who she couldn’t date during her time in the music industry.
The former X Factor star has called for a crackdown on mistreatment in the industry over recent years.
Rebecca has since opened up about more alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of executives in the music industry.
The singer finished as runner up on the ITV singing show in 2010, with One Direction in third and Matt Cardle taking the win.
The 36-year-old revealed she supposedly “peeved off” two “major people” in the music business, claiming her life was “hell” while they “controlled” her.
She shared a series of videos on her TikTok account, speaking candidly about her time in the industry.
“A few years ago I had an issue with two quite major people in the music industry,” she said.
“My life was a living hell from that day when I decided to stick up for myself and not take any BS.
“My life in the music industry became hell and I’ve tried to speak out about it a lot.”
While she didn’t name names of the individuals, she continued: “I really peeved off two people in the music industry who had quite a lot of power and influence, and were able to hinder my career.”
The mum-of-four became tearful as she added: “I can honestly say that the past nine years of my life, although I’ve found happiness now, were torturous. I was petrified, I was so scared of these people.”
