Baby showers can be an eventful occasion - especially when you leave your guests shocked with an unexpected surprise. New mum Becky Biddulph, 30, left her guests in disbelief when she arrived at her party cradling her newborn son, who was born just four days prior.
Becky and her partner James Biddulph surprised both their family and friends with an early delivery - none other than the tot himself. The parents arrived at the garden do on June 26 with young Henley, who guests immediately thought was a doll.
A clip, captured by friend Leanne Rowley, caught the whole event - from the initial entrance, guests shrieking with excitement and others mistaking the child for a toy, The Mirror writes.
The same clip, that was posted to the social media platform TikTok, soon went viral, having surpassed 680,000 views to date. Guests attending the bash rushed over to greet the newborn as people approached with several gasping facial expressions.
One person said: "I told you she'd popped!"
"I thought you had a doll or something," a second said.

Having arrived two weeks early, Becky thought that it would make the "perfect" introduction.
She said: "With Henley being born so close to my baby shower, I just thought it would be the most perfect way to introduce him to everyone. It was quite funny seeing everyone's faces in disbelief, thinking I was holding a doll. Once everyone had realised, it was brilliant!
"Funnily enough, we did the same for our wedding - we ended up having a lockdown wedding and we didn't even tell the girls until the night before.
"Everyone else was told the day after we were married! The whole day was just magical. I absolutely loved every second of it and wouldn't have changed anything."
Away from parenting life, the mum-of-three - born in Stoke-on-Trent - works in care as well as running two businesses, whilst James, 21, is a HGV driver.
