Michelle Heaton gives birth to first child

Former singer and tabloid favourite Michelle Heaton has welcomed her first baby into the world…

The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of celebrity engagements, break-ups and babies, and now there is another addition to the celebrity baby pool.

Former Liberty X star Michelle Heaton gave birth to her first child, a daughter, on 11 January.

The star's husband Hugh Hanley tweeted the good news; "My beautiful wife @wonderwomanshel gave birth to our gorgeous baby girl 'Faith Michelle Hanley' yesterday morning. Circle of life is amazing."

Bucking the trend for unusual celebrity baby names (the most recent one is Beyonce's baby name - Blue) Michelle has named her daughter Faith and has given her a very personal middle name, Michelle.

Michelle and Katie are good friends

Faith Michelle doesn't just have a celebrity mother, but Michelle's friend Katie Price revealed back in December that she is going to be the Godmother to her child.

Back in December, Katie tweeted: "I'm sooooo happy and over the moon that @wonderwomanshel and @hughhanley have asked me to be a godmother to there (sic) baby. Woo forever friends."

It wasn't the easiest pregnancy for 31-year-old Michelle, who admitted a while back that she had real issues during her nine months.

"I went through a period four months when I felt really uncomfortable in my own skin and would cry about petty things," she revealed.

"Not being able to get my jeans past my thighs was excruciating, but now I feel more womanly than ever."

Congratulations to you both and well done on choosing a name that your daughter can use throughout her life holding her head up high - refreshing change!  If it is correct and you have chosen Katie Price as her godmother, good luck to you and her - I believe that she is a good friend of yours and without media hype I am sure she is a completely different person.  All the best to all concerned.

I haven't a clue who she or her husband are,but all the best to them.

It's just so nice to see that there are still a few 'normal' people around,what a pity that their child is born in a country run by moron's.
