Mary and i would like to welcome our 3rd child Madeline Snow Toki Born yesterday morning 11th March 8.49am Weighing 7.1 pounds You are not even one day old yet but have already undergone your first surgery. She was born with intestinal atresia. Mary has had to be strong knowing the baby would be pulled away from her and put in another hospital straight after birth. After being at @pchfwa we know you are in the safest hands possible and hoping for a full recovery. We are still learning of the condition of the situation as we speak. Anyways.... How cute is she 💕 She hardly has been crying while she has been constantly moved, bloods been drawn and even tho she still hasn't been able to eat she has been so quiet and looking around the room. I can't wait for her mum @marytoki84 To be able to leave hospital and go see her 💯 #babynews

Mary and Luke, who hail from Perth, are already parents to their two boys Lennox and Nate.

While Luke didn't take out the show, his friend and winner Jericho Malabonga famously shared his $500,000 prize money to take Luke and his family to Disneyland in September.
