Amassing thousands of likes, fans praised the 32-year-old for the intimate photograph. One person wrote: "Amazing, so inspirational! Are you allowed home births when it’s your first now? I hope it went as smoothly as possible for you."
Another penned: "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."
A third wrote: "Yaaaaaasssss! Love to see people repping home birth."
Ellie's new arrival couldn't have happened at a better time as the latest series of the Channel 4 show has just drawn to end for the summer. Stars Tom and Julie Malone are making the most of their time off by heading over the pond for a once-in-lifetime trip.
In their latest social posts, the couple has been sharing their adventures around San Francisco, where Julie has been struggling a bit with the 'cold wind'. Their first video showed them on a boat heading to 'pier 39 to see the seals''.
During more holiday footage, the pair told fans the US city is nice during the day but 'freezing at night'. They've been hitting all the big tourist attractions, including the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
