A This Morning star has given birth and shared sweet photos of the baby
A beloved star on This Morning has revealed the exciting news that she has welcomed her first baby.
TV chef Poppy O’Toole, also known as the Potato Queen, first joined the ITV series a few years back and has made countless appearances to cook up a feast on the show.
This year though, she confirmed she was pregnant with her first baby, just months after getting married to her partner of 15 years Tom Shattock.
Since then, an excited Poppy has been keeping her thousands of online fans updated on her pregnancy journey. And on Saturday (December 13) Poppy revealed she recently welcomed a baby daughter.
Taking to her Instagram, the TV star shared several photos of her posing with her new baby in front of a Christmas tree. She captioned the post: “The baby potato arrived last week and she is doing amazingly. Thanks for all the love and messages.”
As expected, fans and co-stars rushed to the comments section to send their well-wishes. ITV and Lorraine star Dr Amir Khan penned: “Huge congratulations.”
Gordon Ramsay also wrote: “Congratulations to you both sending lots of love from all the Ramsays.” Fellow chef John Torode gushed: “Congratulations.. so bloody wonderful.”
Meanwhile, one fan declared: “Congratulations!!!!! Wishing you so much love and happiness.” Another followed chimed in: “Congratulations to you both! Wonderful news and lovely little squishy Potato tot cuddles. Have the best Christmas.”
Earlier this year, Poppy revealed she married her partner. However, talking about their special day on social media at the time, she admitted it was an “unconventional” day, as they failed to give at least 29 days’ notice before the ceremony.
Failing to give the required notice of marriage can prevent a wedding from taking place on the intended date. If couples fail to give 29 days notice, the ceremony may need to be rescheduled, and additional fees may be incurred for rebooking.
In the end, the couple took care of all the “official stuff” in Redditch, not forgetting to take a series of snaps outside the registry office. Despite it not being a traditional day, it didn’t dampen Poppy’s spirits, as she took to Instagram to share in the joyous news.
This Morning airs Monday to Friday at 10am on ITV1.
