Former Tracy Beaker actress Chelsie George has joyfully announced the arrival of her second child with husband Iain, a baby boy named Dusty Leigh George. The 33-year-old, who rose to fame playing Louise Govern in the beloved CBBC series, revealed she gave birth prematurely at 35 weeks and four days.
Sharing the happy news on Instagram, Chelsie posted a heartwarming clip of her newborn wearing a knitted jumper embroidered with his name. She wrote, “DUSTY LEIGH GEORGE 5.10.25 5lbs 14oz 35+4 (had to beat his sis). Introducing our impatient little man. We are all head over heels and Goldie is just besotted.”
The actress-turned-influencer, who also shares two-year-old daughter Goldie with Iain, added with a laugh that she was “still in shock” after Dusty’s early arrival, admitting the family were “soaking up this absolutely precious time along with a little side of jaundice, very little sleep and LOTS of milk.”
Chelsie later took to her Instagram Story to show Dusty’s sweet close-up, writing: “Hi world, my name is Dusty and I have deep blues and a cute as dimple.” Another selfie showed the exhausted but radiant mum cuddling her son in bed, captioned: “Happy as a pig in poo. Lots of feeds with little sleeps in between. Nothing better than your own bed.”
She also opened up about the anxieties of early motherhood, confessing: “One thing I forgot about the newborn days is the constant worry with their temperature… Hat? No hat? Feel the back of the neck… Oooh chilly little feet. Corrr babes well toasty.”
Chelsie’s followers flooded the comments with congratulations, calling the baby “a total cutie” and praising her candid, down-to-earth posts about postpartum life.
