“Baby and mum doing well! Thanks for the messages,” the proud new dad posted on Instagram.
He also shared a glimpse of their newborn son in a blue babygro embroidered with ‘Prince’ and wrote: “The king is here.”
The new mum has been open about sharing her pregnancy with fans on Instagram and this morning her labour was no different as she appeared in snaps in her nightie with her hair scraped up into a no-fuss bun.
The star’s due date was yesterday [/caption]Proud Matt had his arm around her shoulder – and was clearly beaming with joy despite his mouth being covered with a protective face mask.
He captioned the post: “We’re all set ready for our little man!
“Charlotte’s waters broke at 4.30, so proud of my girl @charlottedawsy she’s a trooper.”
Their little boy is almost right on time – her due date was yesterday – and he was born exactly a week before her late dad Les Dawson’s birthday on February 2.
The legendary comedian passed away from a heart attack in 1993 when Charlotte was just eight months old.
The star previously broke down in tears when she revealed she could see her late dad’s face in one of her baby scans.

“How weird !!!!!! If you don’t that’s fine. But I can see it …”
Earlier this week Charlotte told fans that after a hospital visit her midwife warned that they may have to induce her to give birth, which was something Charlotte did not want to do.

She even said she’d heard “nipple stimulation” helped to promote labour, joking: “Matthew’s in for a right good knead – it’s the most action he’ll get all year.”

Charlotte then shared Matt’s Instagram post to her Story, writing: “I did it… Just in labour my darlings.
“I can’t believe I did most of it at home.. But thank you for all your messages, love you all x”.
Matthew proposed to Charlotte last September outside a statue of Les at Memorial Park in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire.
