Love Island host and new mum Laura Whitmore appears to have finally confirmed the name of her new-born daughter after keeping her moniker under wraps.

The ‘reveal’ came during an Instagram Story in which Laura paid to tribute to Glastonbury Festival, cancelled again for a second year but with a stream of old performances airing over the traditional festival weekend.

“A few years ago at Glastonbury I bought the handmade ‘time to dance and play’ sign somewhere in the healing fields en route to Shangri La,” she captioned the photo. “I ended up wandering around by myself for a few hours, stumbling across different stages and tents. I look at this sign and remind myself of the importance of having fun.

“Life can get stressful. It can feel overwhelming. But it reminds me of the things that bring me joy in my life. So today, do something that brings you joy! Have a great weekend x”

Oh God, the #MEMS. Get us back to Worthy Farm, asap.

What is Laura Whitmore's baby's name?

Front and centre in the photo was an adorable toddler-sized denim jacket with the name Stevie Ré stitched onto the bag in silver lettering, which appears to confirm what Laura and her husband Iain Stirling have named their daughter.

It was confirmed that Laura and Iain had become parents in April when they were spotted doting over their little one while on a coffee run.

The Love Island duo keep their private lives, well, private, and fans didn't even know the couple had got married until their marriage certificate from Dublin came into the public eye... over a month after the fact.

Now, fans are frothing at the bit for all the juicy details about the presenters' little tot and, from the sounds of it, they've been quite the detectives about the whole scenario.

Here's what we know....

When did Laura Whitmore give birth to her baby?

While an exact date isn't known, Laura and Iain were first spotted with their bundle of joy on 31 March and, for that matter, the 35 year old was absent from her 28 March radio show, and was replaced by fellow presenter Stacey Dooley.

Do we know the gender of Laura Whitmore's baby?

Once again, Laura wasn't the first to announce the gender of her bub but, naturally, eagle-eyed (or should we say eared?) fans spotted a TV blunder on ITV's Lorraine.

After the new mum appeared on Lorraine’s daytime show to promote her new book No One Can Change Your Life Except For You, which promotes female positivity, the legendary TV presenter appeared to accidentally reveal the gender of Laura’s unborn baby.

Speaking to Laura, Lorraine asked, “This book this comes from person experience, it’s lessons you have learnt along the way isn’t it? And also advice that you want to pass on to your baby girl.”

Laura then appeared to look rather shocked as she stumbled over her response saying, “Yeah, erm, well my baby, erm, yeah.”

Viewers were quick to point out Lorraine’s apparent fumble with one writing on Twitter, “I think #Lorraine just accidentally announced that Laura Whitmore is having a girl. Oops!”

Since then, Laura has now shared cutesy snaps with her little girl, including one of the tot in a gorgeous lemon yellow romper, alongside the caption, "Easter chick 🐣."

Nawww.

Did Keith Lemon reveal Laura Whitmore's baby's name?

There were some fan suspicions that the name had been accidentally leaked... by Keith Lemon of all people.

Keith, who appears on Celebrity Juice with Laura, was speaking to Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes on This Morning when talk turned to the Love Island host.

He said, “We've got lovely Laura Whitmore as well who's at home watching this with her child. So, hello to Emily and Laura,” leaving viewers confused as to whether he was referring Laura’s baby girl or their co-star Emily Atack.

Taking to Twitter to share their bewilderment, one wrote, “Has Keith Lemon just dropped Laura Whitmore’s baby name on #ThisMorning?”

Another asked, “Did @lemontwittor just announce @thewhitmore’s baby’s name on @thismorning? #Emily #thismorning,” while a third joked, “I think Laura Whitmore has named her newborn Emily thanks to Keith #ThisMorning.”
