Sam Faiers and Paul Knightley welcomed their baby boy to the world on 29th December - just two days before Sam’s 25th birthday.

Ever since then, the duo have managed to keep their son’s name a secret.

But, now, the TOWIE star and her boyfriend have revealed all to their fans… and finally given their gorgeous bubba his much-anticipated introduction to the spotlight.

Posing with their little one for an interview with OK! Magazine, Sam revealed that she and Paul had picked out a surprisingly old-fashioned name for their beautiful baby boy.

She said: “We always wanted him to be named Paul after his dad.

“It’s traditional and we didn’t have any other names on the list, so he’s Paul, and his middle name is Tony after Paul's brother, his Uncle Tony.”

The name Paul means ‘little’ - which is just perfect for a firstborn baby boy - and the name Tony means ‘highly praiseworthy’.

However, despite the cute name choice, Sam admitted she and her partner have found it a little strange getting to grips with having another Paul in the house.

She said: “We call him Baby Paul at the moment, or just ‘baby’.

“We haven’t called him Paul yet.”

Sam also shared an intimate photo of Baby Paul on her Instagram page, snapped just a few hours after his birth.

She captioned the shot: “Just a few hours old, our beautiful baby.

“Look at those lips - we can't help but just kiss him all the time!”

Sam added: “Our story is in this weeks OK! Magazine.”

Congratulations once again to the happy couple!
