Brooke Kinsella is the name of Brooke’s newborn brother, who unfortunately died by stabbing in 2008, making him the 17th fatality in London that year. Since then, the actress has become a vocal opponent of knives. She even visited EastEnders again to offer advice when they decided to focus on a knife-crime plot in 2018.

Rita Simons wrote in the comments section that she received love and congratulations from followers and famous friends  “Oh me oh my! Ben. Welcome to the world. All the Bens are the best right!? Sending all our love to you and precious Ben.”

“Hey Ben. You probably don’t know it yet, but you are part of an incredible legacy,” wrote Holby City‘s Chizzy Akudolu. “You’re named after an Angel and your parents are gonna give you so much love. Oh, and you have an adorable big sister too. Can’t wait to meet you.”
