Charlotte Crosby has shared her first photos since giving birth to her baby girl.
The Geordie Shore star has given birth to her first child with boyfriend Jake Ankers as her dad broke the news on social media today. The 31-year-old reality star, who announced her pregnancy in mid April following weeks of speculation from fans, has shared snaps from the hospital after giving birth, reports the Mirror.
"Here we go, a little update from mam and dad," she wrote on Instagram sharing pictures of herself in a hospital gown alongside beau Jake. Charlotte's dad Gary shared the exciting news on Twitter earlier this morning, writing: "So, officially a grandfather! Little girl, all is well. Excited for the new chapter in our little family"
Charlotte and Jake are now proud parents after they started dating last year following her split from Liam Beaumont in August.
Previously, she had recalled how she thought "f**k, I'm not gonna be able to have kids" after she nearly died when doctors discovered she had been internally bleeding for a week after her fallopian tube was split open and had to remove right fallopian tube and ovary.
In her pregnancy announcement video a few weeks ago, Charlotte broke down in tears as she shared her exciting news with her mother Letitia, while her dad told Jake he had "never seen my daughter so happy". She said "And, like, you just know when you know, don't you? That it's the right person... when we were away this weekend we were talking [and saying].
"'It's just so nice that Charlotte's happy and she's settled and we know this is probably going to be the right one. I've never known her so happy, Jake," her dad added. The happy news came six years after Charlotte suffered a devastating ectopic pregnancy, which she admitted that she could have died from.
Charlotte suffered through the ectopic pregnancy – which occurs when a fetus begins to develop outside of the womb – after her split from co-star and on-off boyfriend Gary Beadle. Last month, the star opened up about her turbulent pregnancy journey and admitted she doesn't feel like she's having a baby after her mum was diagnosed with cancer.
