A couple celebrated the 'best present ever' following the birth of their first baby who arrived - on mum and dad's joint birthdays. Simone Milner turned 29 on November 18 - partner Matthew Leigh's 40th - after little Alma Leigh held on a couple of weeks past her due date to share their special day.

The couple have celebrated their joint birthday for six years now and were over the moon to welcome Alma to the party - describing her as the 'most special birthday gift'. Alma was due on November 3, but held off until her parents' birthday, arriving a full 15 days later than expected.

Simone, from Stockport Cheshire said: "It would have been a really special day whenever she arrived, but this was amazing. She's the best birthday gift ever. You can’t do better than that, and it really is a special day now.
