A new Pope to succeed Pope Francis has emerged.
This was confirmed on Thursday following white smoke emerging from the chimney in the Vatican, which signifies a new pope has been elected.
The name of the new Pope is yet to emerge.
But he is expected to appear on the balcony overlooking St Peter’s Square shortly.
