TOWIE's Jess Wright 'enjoys time with newborn baby boy' as she shares closer glimpse

Jessica Wright welcomed her newborn baby boy with her husband William Lee-Kemp on May 17.

Announcing the birth on Instagram on May 21 with a sweet snap of her and her husband William holding hands with their new bundle of joy, fans were overjoyed for the former TOWIE star.

But now Jess, 36, has given fans a closer look at her son as she and William spend some quality time with him away from the limelight.

Posting a super sweet black and white snap of herself cuddling her son with him on her shoulder, the proud new mummy penned: "Happy due date my angel. Thank you so much for everyone’s kind messages, we are just taking time to enjoy this time with our baby boy.

Fans and friends were quick to comment on the sweet snap, with mum Carol penning: "Oh @jesswright77 he is a angel from heaven, I love you so much baby boy."

Carol then added: "He most perfect baby ever. X so proud of you. X."

While her pal and former TOWIE co-star Frankie Essex commented: "His hair Jess," complete with a heart eye emoji.

Jess and her hubby William announced that they were expecting their first child two months after they tied the knot last September.

Wanting to have a baby soon after getting wed was very apparent, because Jess had previously decided to freeze her eggs after her mum Carol and late nanny Pat both went into early menopause at the age of 41.

Speaking to Grazia about the process, Jess said she wanted to take precautions so she'd be able to have a baby if it did.

"I knew it was a symptom so I was really, really panicking myself and spiralling into this ditch of 'I’m going through menopause, or I’m going to start'.

"And then I was worrying if we’re going to be able to have children."

Jess first shot to fame on reality show TOWIE alongside her younger brother Mark Wright (who is now wed to Coronation Street's Michelle Keegan ) when they both joined the cast in 2010.

The brunette bombshell was a permanent fixture for six years before she departed the popular reality programme.

When she left she focused on her music career, launched her own clothing lines and starred on shows like Celebrity First Dates.
