Ashley James welcomes first child

Ashley James has welcomed her first child.

The 33-year-old star was spotted walking around London with her little one on Monday (11.01.21), confirming that her and her boyfriend Tommy Andrews have become parents for the first time.

In the pictures obtained by the Mail Online, the couple looked happy as they strolled around with their baby in a pushchair through the capital, with their dog in tow.

Around a week ago, Ashley revealed that January 3 was meant to be her due date but despite the baby being late, she has been "trying to cherish every last moment of pregnancy".

She said: "I've been trying to cherish every last moment of pregnancy. Appreciating the kicks, being thankful for the way my body has grown. But equally, the last couple of weeks have been harder, mentally and physically. Physically: I've been constantly itchy, my pelvis is sore and swollen, and my belly piercing has started to tear because of the extreme stretching. Walking has kept me fit and active. Mentally: it's been a weird time of year with the in-between stage of Christmas and New Year anyway, and I feel like I've started a new year still awaiting a new chapter. It's also weird because you're bombarded with messages asking if the baby is here, or telling you things you can do to hurry to process (all well intentioned messages), and you're just out here waiting."

And at the time, Ashley revealed she was "so excited" to experience childbirth.

She added: "I'm so excited to experience childbirth and can't wait to meet the little guy I've carried round the last 280 days. I can't wait to introduce him to you, and continue to share the highs and lows. Now I just need to stay calm and keep my oxytocin levels up amongst all the noise and chaos of the world."
