The former Strictly Come Dancing partners announced earlier this month that they had welcomed their first child together.

Mia was born on July 4 and, according to her proud mum, is “zen-like” and “chilled”.

On Sunday, the 34-year-old updated fans about being a part of the “new mums club,” adding:

“What a whirlwind 9 days it’s been having little princess (my new bff) at home with me 24/7.

“Being only maternal towards dogs for the first 30 years of my life (which btw Norman & Ollie are still my everything) I genuinely never dreamed I’d love someone as much as I do her.

“I’m not sure how but we’ve been blessed with the most chilled out, calm, zen like baby who so far eats and sleeps every 4hrs like a topper and in between is happy amusing herself having a good old kick and wriggle in her pram.

“My sister has 3 kids so I’m well aware this good behaviour probably won’t last. So I’m making the most of it now before she turns on me and has me clawing my own eyes out! You were all right though, motherhood is a dream and I’m loving it.”
