But, as it turns out, Claire was just joking around with Pete about THAT baby name choice after hearing that Holly Willoughby had named her newborn son Chester.

Pete explained: "I love Claire's Sweeneys sense of humour about the Baby's name I rather liked the name Walton"

And Claire added: "Our little boy is not called Walton,his name us to be decided."

Claire, 43, is believed to have had her little boy at the Liverpool Women’s Hospital after a caesarian section.

“It’s not because I’m ‘too posh to push!’” she explained before the birth. “It’s on medical advice for a number of reasons including my age and the fact that he was a breach baby.”

Her pregnancy joy is even more profound, she revealed, because she suffered two miscarriages, one at 12 weeks in 2012 and another shortly after conceiving in May last year.

She previously said that she would name her 'miracle' baby Gabriel, as she believed her little bundle of joy to be a gift of God.

“Finding out I was pregnant was a gorgeous shock - it truly shows that God works in mysterious ways and I think it was just meant to be,” she said.

“Actually, I always thought I’d have a little girl, so that was another surprise but a lovely one. I’ve thought about calling him Gabriel, because he’s my little angel sent from heaven.”

Congratulations to Claire - we can't wait to find out what the new mum has decided to name her little one!
