Gogglebox star Ellie Warner shared an intimate insight into her home birth experience, describing it as "literally" the "best day of [her] life".
The popular reality star, 32, confirmed the happy news of her baby boy’s safe arrival on Friday's episode of the hit Channel 4 show. Little Ezra is her and her partner Nat Eddlestone's first child.
To mark International Home Birth Day on June 6, Ellie shared the sweet and emotional picture to her 483K Instagram followers. In it, the new mum sits in a birthing pool in her living room and cradles her son, gazing at him.
In the background, proud partner Nat looks on in wonder. Ellie simply captioned the image: "International home birth day [heart emoji] Was literally the best day of my life".
The photo amassed more than 33K likes in less than 24 hours, with fans flocking to the comments section to share their thoughts. One said: "Awesome photo, you did so well, good to see more babies being born at home now."
Another said: "This is amazing!!! So glad you got the birth you wanted babes, you're incredible".
A third commented: "Wow incredibly beautiful photography what a amazing moment to capture. Congratulations to you both love his name. Cherish the memories", while another advised: "Awesome photo – how amazing are you?! I work in a homebirth team and completely love it! For those asking if it's an option for first time mums – absolutely it is, do speak to a midwife to see if it's an option for you".
Ellie first confirmed news of her pregnancy on an episode of Gogglebox back in December, going on to share a sweet photo to her Instagram page, where she cradled her bump and joked: "Belly full of Christmas dinner."
The reality TV star, who shares the sofa on screen with her sister Izzi, experienced some health issues during her pregnancy, revealing on the show in late March that she'd been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It appears things went on to go smoothly for the happy couple, despite the diagnosis.
The star's last photo with a bump was shared on Instagram on April 10th, before Ellie, a previously frequent poster, vanished for four weeks, prompting speculation from fans she had given birth.
She then returned on May 9th, to share an insight into her pregnancy,as she revealed the pram she and Nat had chosen for their baby boy.
The couple opted for the classic £3,000 Silver Cross Balmoral Coach Pram, beloved by the Essex set and Royalty alike.
The popular prams are handcrafted in Yorkshire, with gliding suspension, gleaming chrome wheels, and a pure cotton mattress. For their baby boy, Ellie and Nat chose a vibrant blue shade.
She shared a beautiful picture of her son over the weekend and penned: "Sweet baby Ezra [yellow heart] he has made our lives complete [heart face emoji] we love you so much son".
Ellie first shot to fame after joining the cast of Gogglebox in 2015 alongside her sister. While the show does pay its cast members, it's not a full time wage and many have day jobs outside their roles as the nation's favourite couch potatoes.
Unsurprisingly, given her penchant for elaborate dye jobs, Ellie works as a hairdresser and runs an Instagram account dedicated to her styling work.
The couple's baby joy comes just one year on from a devastating accident which left Nat fighting for his life, after he was struck by a car while on a night out in Leeds in March 2022.
As a result of the accident, Nat suffered a brain injury, broken neck, two collapsed lungs and a broken back.
Thankfully, he was able to make a speedy recovery, with Ellie at his side every step of the way.
