Brookside and Hollyoaks: In the City alumni Philip Olivier has welcomed his fifth child into the world with his partner Amy Virtue.
The actor's father announced the news on his Facebook page back in November (via OK), and revealed his granddaughter's name, Selina Sky.
He wrote: "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."
Olivier and Virtue are now a family of seven as they already have three sons, Oscar, Sunny Ray and Phoenix together, and another daughter named Renée.

Since Brookside ended in 2003, Olivier went on to star in the aforementioned Hollyoaks late-night spin-off, Doctors, Benidorm, the Take That musical Never Forget, and some Doctor Who audio dramas from Big Finish.
He also won the Channel 4 reality TV competition The Games, and competed on Four in a Bed with the B&B that he co-ran with a friend.
After his extensive TV work, Olivier serves as the owner and managing director of Liverpool City Sights, a bus tour business that has a 5 star rating on TripAdvisor from over 4,000 reviews.

Last year, Digital Spy spoke to multiple Brookside actors and writers and producers about what made Channel 4's first attempt at a soap so successful and so fondly remembered.
Actress Tiffany Chapman said: "My mum is always saying they should bring it back! I'd definitely do it and I think they could make it work if they moved with the times. It would be quite comforting. People would like to see it back for the nostalgia and the memories. I'll never experience a job like that ever again – I know that and appreciate it."
Despite all the love for it, the availability of classic episodes and a small cast reunion earlier this year, it doesn't look like the groundbreaking series is coming back any time soon.
