Alongside the video, Lottie said: ‘So beyond proud of you. Olive, auntie will love you forever.’
She welcomed her little one six days after her due date as she revealed earlier this week that she was going to the hospital for a sweep to bring on labour.
Phoebe and Jack, who began dating in early 2022, announced she was expecting their first child with Jack in June.
The couple first announced that they were expecting a baby boy at a gender reveal party, but later shared that they found out they were actually having a girl.
After their 20-week scan, Phoebe confirmed: ‘After a few days of processing it, we’re ready to tell you all that at our 20 week scan we found out you’re a little girl. We’re so excited to meet you!’
On Tuesday, just two days before giving birth, Phoebe admitted that she was nervous she was going to have to be induced after going past her due date.
She did a Q&A on her Instagram Story where she revealed her fears.
One of her followers asked: ‘Are you feeling nervous at all for the baby’s arrival or just ready?’
She then candidly replied: ‘I feel more nervous with each passing day because I don’t want to have to be induced!’
She also told how she was going to hospital for a sweep on Wednesday – one day before she then gave birth – in the hopes of bringing on labour.
A sweep involves a midwife placing their finger inside the cervix and making a sweeping movement to separate the membranes that surround the baby from the cervix.

The Tomlinson family are closer than ever, having faced a number of heartbreaking tragedies over the years with the loss of Johannah and Félicité.
As well as Louis and Lottie, Johannah was mother to twins Daisy and Phoebe, and twins Ernest and Doris, who were aged just two when she passed away.
Asked if she was sad that her mum wasn’t there to experience her happy news, Phoebe replied to the fan:
‘I’ve definitely thought about her a lot more since being pregnant. I know she’s with me and guiding us through.’
