Lily Allen and husband Sam Cooper welcomed another baby girl into their family on Tuesday night, and have named the newborn Marnie Rose Cooper.

The couple, who are already parents to 14-month-old Ethel - are said to be "ecstatic" with the new addition to their growing family.

A source close to the 27-year-old British star told The Sun newspaper: "Marnie is a real cutie. Sam and Lily are ecstatic about adding another girl to the family. A little sister for Ethel is brilliant news to lift the January blues for the family."

Earlier this month Lily revealed she was eating lots of curry to try to bring on labour.

She posted a message on Twitter, saying: "3rd curry this week... cosywomb."

She also recently revealed she was going to give birth to heavy metal music. Lily claimed her spouse had created a compilation of tracks by the now defunct thrash metal band Pantera to listen to while in labour.

She wrote on her Twitter account: "My husband is currently making me a Pantera mix cd to take to the birthing suite. #cute (sic)"

The singer was determined to take it easy while she is waiting for her new arrival.

However, her relaxing routine was interrupted recently when she reached for a sweet and discovered a tin of empty wrappers.

She revealed on Twitter: "Which heathen put wrappers back in the quality street tin? (sic)."

Congratulations to Lily and Sam and welcome to baby Marnie!
