Fleur East has welcomed her first child with husband Marcel Badiane-Robin after giving birth on the living room floor.
The host of Strictly’s It Takes Two announced the arrival of her baby daughter Nova on Sunday (March 31) with an adorable first snap of the little one. The 36-year-old took to Instagram with sweet snaps showing her carrying Nova on her chest while out and about with Marcel, 35.
But the birth last week was rather dramatic and the former X Factor star’s husband had to rush to catch baby Nova in his arms. Fleur admitted the whole experience was a “ride”.

She said in her caption: “And just like that, our baby girl, Nova, is here!! Our daughter entered the world via squat position into the arms of my Husband and I on our living room floor!
“One day I will share my birth story with you (what a RIDE!), but for now, we are resting and doing well. So thankful to the amazing midwives who were by my side, my birthing partners (my auntie Tina and my Husband @marcel__robin ) and all of our family who have been helping out and showering us with love.

“It really does take a village! So grateful to God for this blessing. Our little Nova was born on the 22nd March and it feels like she’s always been here”.
The radio host, who first announced she was pregnant back in January, was beaming in her first family photo with Marcel and Nova. She was wearing a stylish grey jacket, matching trousers and a pair of white trainers while husband Marcel, who snapped the selfie, looked stylish in a beige puffer jacket and a pair of cargos.

The singer had been keeping active during her pregnancy. Last Tuesday (March 26) she shared a clip showing her bouncing on an exercise ball and wearing a maternity pad.
Fleur announced her pregnancy on New year’s Day and joked the conception had been spontaneous. She quipped: “When Netflix and Chill go too far”.
