Gogglebox favourite Ellie Warner has shared some candid snaps of her home birth, which she described as the “best day” of her life.

The Channel 4 star recently revealed she had given birth to her first child, a son.

The new mum took to her Instagram page to share a sweet photo of when she had a water birth at home.

She wrote: ” International home birth day Was literally the best day of my life.”

Ellie can be seen holding her newborn son after giving birth in a pool with her blonde hair swept back into a bun.

Fans took to the comments to ask her questions about her birth experience as well as offering their support.

One wrote: “A mazing, so inspirational! Are you allowed home births when it’s your first now? I hope it went as smoothly as possible for you x”

As another said: “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 x”

“Awesome photo, you did so well, good to see more babies being born at home now,” a third commented.

One person said: “Well done Ellie lovely pic of you all Dan looks thrilled thank you for sharing,” as another added: “What an amazing photo!! Huge congrats – enjoy all the new born cuddles.”

Ellie confirmed she had given birth on Gogglebox.

The 32-year-old kept silent on social media in recent weeks as fans speculated that she had already given birth, but she waited to share the happy news while appearing on the show

Ellie welcomed her son with boyfriend Nat Eddleston and she announced her happy baby news back in December on the Channel 4 show, alongside her sister Izzi.

Taking to social media, Ellie confirmed the arrival of little Ezra.

“Sweet baby Ezra. He has made our lives complete. We love you so much son,” she wrote.

Ellie’s pregnancy news came just a year after her boyfriend Nat was left fighting for his life following a horror car crash.

He was left needing treatment in intensive care after suffering from a broken neck, back and both his lungs collapsing as a result of his injuries.
