Callum, who is best known for his role as George Kiss in the hit Channel 4 soap, is now a proud dad to a beautiful baby girl.
The 29-year-old took to social media last night to confirm the wonderful news, and to also reveal his daughter’s name.
On his Instagram page, Callum chose to post several snaps of himself holding his newborn, as well as a sweet image taken in the moments after her birth.

Callum and Lauren initially announced on July 4 that they were expecting their first child together. The news of the couple’s pregnancy came eight months after Callum’s split from his former fiancée.
At the time, the expectant parents, who now live in Nashville, took to Instagram to share an adorable photo of themselves showcasing Lauren’s growing bump.
“Ever since I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a dad. I can’t wait to welcome this little one into the world with my love, my angel, my partner in crime,” Callum gushed in the image’s caption.
