Telling all to her 99,000 followers, she wrote: "And just like that maternity leave is over...How time is flying by!! I honestly can’t get over Hugh is 9months old already.

"I can’t believe the difference in me as a person from starting my ML to finishing it, I was absolutely petrified (as I’m sure every mama is, hats off to you all) I didn’t know a single thing about babas, I’d never really held/fed/changed I had so much to learn and what an absolute mind field it is.

"The most amazing thing that’s every happened to me was becoming Hugh’s mam, he really is the most beautiful little soul I’m the luckiest to have him and the most unreal family and friends who’ve helped me get through every step of the way so far not to mention Josh of course, Jesus he deserves a bloody medal as big as the moon.

"I’m finishing off my ML being super proud of myself and going into a new job that I’m so excited for."

And her comment section was quickly flooded with a stack of support from co-stars, friends and followers alike. Best mate Abbie, wrote: "Aw gorgeous Ge! I wish you all the luck in the world which I know you don’t need. You’re the best mam and you have the most perfect little boy who I get to call my godson!!!!! @_joshnewby not forgetting you either! You’re an amazing dad too."

Follow Gogglebox star Daniel Lustig-Webb elsewhere added: "Good luck in your new job xx," while follower Siobhan said: "Enjoy the first day back and the hot coffee that you will get to drink."

Another fan wrote: "Best of luck must be nerve wrecking to leave the little man for first time...... before you know it he'll be starting school!!!!...you look amazing," with a third, praising: "Good luck with all your new beginnings you’re doing great xx."

Georgia hasn't yet confirmed what her new job involves, but she did announce earlier on Instagram that she won't be returning to hairdressing. In a story, she penned: "To all my wonderful clients, I just want to thank every single of you for all your support over the years of hairdressing.

"For those who may not already know, after much consideration, I have decided I will not be continuing hairdressing once my maternity leave is over! My next step will be something more suitable to family life."

She added: "I can't thank you all enough and thank you so much to Daniel John for everything and being so amazing and supportive over the years."
