Famous faces also shared their new parent’s joy. Michelle’s Morning Live co-host, Rav Wilding, comments a string of heart emojis, while Strictly’s Karen Hauer wrote: “Awwww look at this angel.”
Only weeks ago, concern for Michelle and baby’s health was sparked when she was rushed to the hospital due to a painful infection. Michelle promised fans both she and the baby were fine, and explained that she was diagnoses with labyrinthitis, an inner ear infection that affects your balance.
Sharing her health update on social media, she wrote: “Well it’s been quite the rollercoaster of a few days this end. Had such a lovely day back at work with the awesome BBC Morning Live team last Monday.
“Then unfortunately ended up in hospital with labyrinthitis for the next 4 days. I don’t know if anybody has had it before but it ain’t ideal.
“I have to stay the midwives at St Mary’s Hospital in Manchester were amazing and kept me calm with all the anxieties of being ill whilst pregnant. Resting up and nesting up at home now.”
Michelle has previously opened up about her fertility journey and fears of being unable to conceive due to her endometriosis diagnosis.
