Sarah-Jane Crawford gives birth

Sarah-Jane Crawford has given birth.

The former \'Xtra Factor\' presenter and her football manager boyfriend Brian Barry-Murphy have welcomed a baby girl into the world.

Referencing a lyric from Layo and Bushwacka song \'Love Story\', she wrote on Instagram: "So tell me how do you do?

"Finally I meet you

"You don\'t know what I\'ve been through,

"Waiting and wondering about you

"I had a dream my trip would end up at you,

"And now I know paradise" She\'s here (sic)"

The 37-year-old TV presenter admitted giving birth to her daughter felt "miraculous", after she suffered a miscarriage last year.

She told HELLO! magazine: "After experiencing a loss last year, finally bringing a life into this world was the most incredible moment ever.

"It felt so miraculous and Brian and I are over the moon."

The couple announced in May they were "over the moon" to be expecting their first child together.

She said: "We are both over the moon. We found out just before Christmas. It was an incredible present.

"I\'ve noticed my body is changing with the seasons.

"When summer comes it will be the blossoming of everything. It\'s an amazing journey."

Brian, 41 - who manages Rochdale FC - is already a dad to an eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

Sarah-Jane - who was adopted when she was two months old, and whose mother later remarried following the death of her father - thinks it\'s "special" to have a blended family.

She said: "Blending a family is a special thing. I\'ve come from a blended family too.

"Brian is very excited to be a dad all over again.

"He loves being a dad and he knew [being a parent] is something I really wanted, too. It\'s a new chapter in our relationship."
