X Factor’s Katie Waissel shares first pic of newborn son and it’s just precious

Katie Waissel has shared the first picture of her newborn son, Hudson.

The former X Factor star took to a variety of social media account this week to post a photo of herself, baby Hudson, and her partner, Andy. The new mum gave birth over the weekend. Writing on Instagram, she said that she had a "legendary 24 hour labour" and that both she and Hudson are "doing great." The singer wrote:

"Born at 2:25am on 07.21.18, our Little Man made his big debut after a legendary 24 hr labor. "Mummy and Baby are doing great, Daddy is already on diaper duty! Baby Hudson we both love you incredibly and unconditionally, and are eternally grateful to be on this journey called life with you. Here is to our next chapter. Love Mama Bear x."

Bless. Waissel announced that she was expecting her first child back in January with an open letter on Twitter. Alongside the letter she shared a photo of her baby bump and ultrasound picture. In the background of the picture, there was a sign reading: 'Baby Speer coming Summer 2018'. She began with: "So today is officially the day that I get to share the greatest blessings on earth with you!" Katie rose to prominence back in 2010 when she appeared on the X Factor alongside the likes of One Direction, Wagner, and Matt Cardle. She finished seventh in the series.
