She added: “I love being a mum and I’m beyond grateful and blessed that I’ve been able to welcome Aida into the world. It all feels like a dream right now and I keep having to pinch myself to make sure it’s not.

“We didn’t know my audition would be airing this weekend until the day before and I was already booked in to have Aida - so we were so shocked! I hadn’t told anybody on the show I was having her this weekend - so it’s crazy!
