Scarlett Moffatt poses with 'perfect' baby boy after his early arrival at Durham hospital

Scarlett Moffatt has given fans another look at her 'perfect' baby boy, after his early arrival surprised both her and boyfriend Scott Dobinson.

Scarlett, who won I'm A Celebrity at the end of 2016, received congratulations messages from fellow celebs and fans when she announced earlier that this year that the couple were expecting their first child together. Sharing a photo of their baby scan, next to the couple's dog Bonnie, wearing a bib that said 'I'm going to be a big sister.' Scarlett wrote: "It truly feels like a dream writing this caption. Me & Scott are on cloud nine & we are so happy that we get to share this moment with you all. You are so loved already little one."

After being surrounded by friends and family at a lavish baby shower last month, County Durham born star Scarlett has some big and rather unexpected news on Thursday evening, when she took to Instagram to reveal that her little boy, Jude Xavier, had arrived early. Sharing a photo of her new arrival, together with her and Scott in the deliver room, the 32-year-old wrote: "My darling boy I can’t stop crying looking at you as I can’t quite believe you’re mine. You wanted to meet us early at just 35 weeks. Me & your daddy love you so much that I can’t even put this feeling into words. Our heart and soul feels complete & ready to burst. I will forever and always be grateful to be your mammy."

Scarlett, who shot to huge TV fame on Gogglebox in 2014, took time to thank all the staff at Durham Hospital as she was quickly inundated with messages from fellow North East stars like Sara Davies, Vicky Pattison, Marnie Simpson, Zoe Birkett and Holly Hagan and well known faces from the showbiz world like Strictly's Janette Manrara, Amanda Holden and Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard.

And, a very fresh looking Scarlett gave her many well wishers a better look at son Jude early on Friday, when she posted a photo on her Insta story of her and him posing in front of Baby Boy balloons and captioned it: 'My perfect baby boy.'
