The former 'EastEnders' star's boy Gianluca was born six weeks premature on July 1st and was diagnosed with rare birth defect gastroschisis, and after fighting for his life the little one has "made an incredible recovery".
Speaking on his Instagram Stories, Michael - who played Beppe di Marco in the BBC soap from 1998 to 2002 - said: "Hi everyone, thank you so much for all your support over the last seven really tough weeks.
"I've just had the most incredible news. I've just had the most incredible news from the doctors that my boy is being discharged today.
"He's made an incredible recovery so soon, so strong.
"And I've just arrived at the hospital to take him home. Thank you all so much for all your well wishes and incredible support. Great day."
Earlier this month, the 50-year-old actor hoped his son was "over the worst of his troubles".
Sharing a snap of him cuddling his baby boy on Instagram, he wrote: "I have absolutely been overwhelmed by how many of you have contacted me about the welfare of my beautiful baba Gianluca.
"He has a few more weeks left in the hands of the experts at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
"Thankfully he seems to be over the worst of his troubles but it’s still too early to see if his bowel will settle down and start to function normally."
Last month, Michael revealed he and his girlfriend Helen Harris' baby had entered the world weighing just 4.47lbs after he was born prematurely, and the youngster was admitted to ICU.
