Towie star Lydia Bright has given birth to her first child.
The 30-year-old confirmed that she has welcomed her daughter with ex-boyfriend Lee Cronin.
The reality star told Hello! magazine: ‘My darling girl has arrived. I am so overwhelmed with love, she is absolutely perfect.’
Lydia has yet to share a picture of her baby girl, who she nicknamed Dinky throughout her pregnancy on social media, or announce the little one’s name.
Baby Bright entered the world on Friday 21 February.
The Essex girl, who previously dated James ‘Arg’ Argent, told fans she was expecting last August, telling Hello!: ‘I’ve done so much travelling, I’ve done all my partying holidays, I’m where I want to be in terms of my life, financially and career-wise. It just feels like the right time for it all to happen for me.
‘I’ve always wanted the fairytale. And it’s obviously not worked out exactly how I wanted.’
Lydia split from boyfriend of two years Lee shortly after she fell pregnant.
Lydia had previously said that her mum Debbie would be her birthing partner rather than Lee, calling her ex ‘useless’ after attending an antenatal class together.
Speaking on the podcast Meet The Brights, she said: ‘I feel like Lee’s going to be useless. When they were giving the presentation, they were like “This is what you’ve got to do, this is what the dad’s have to do, massage the back”.
‘She was like, “Let’s do an exercise. You, stand up. Lee, stand up, if she’s in pain, where would you massage if she’s about to give birth?” He went like that, at the top of my back. She was like “The baby’s not there is it. Where’s the baby?” He was like “It’s there”.
‘So she was like “So where would you massage?” And he was like “I don’t understand. Is it a trick question?”
‘The woman was saying you need words of encouragement from your birthing partners. I thought, can you imagine Lee doing that? He would freak. There’s no way he’s doing that. They’re useless.’
Lydia has beaten her bestie Lucy Mecklenburgh to motherhood, with both Towie girls expecting babies at the same time and discovering their due dates were just five days apart.
She joked about who would give birth earlier this month, writing on Instagram: ‘The countdown is on ……. Who will be first to pop?’
Lucy, 28, is expecting her first baby with Celebrity Big Brother star Ryan Thomas.
