Brookside star Philip Olivier has welcomed his fifth child with partner Amy Virtue.

The actor, best known for playing Timothy O’Leary in Brookside, is already dad to three boys and a girl with Amy, and now the couple have welcomed a new baby daughter.

Philip’s dad annouced the news on his Facebook page, writing: ‘NUMBER 13. Welcome to our world Selina Sky Borg-Olivier.

‘Born 4 days ago but has been in an incubator until today but will be allowed home once the antibiotics wear off.

‘Little fighter.’

Philip first announced that he and Amy were going to be parents again back in May with a picture on Instagram.

Alongside Oscar, Sunny Ray and Phoenix, the soap star’s youngest child is seen in the photo wearing a baby grow that reads ‘I may be little but I’m going to be a big sister’.
