Liverpool fans react to baby born at Anfield during Pink gig: 'best delivery since Trent's corner'

Despite Pink's spectacular theatrics at Anfield last night she was at risk of being upstaged when a pregnant lady gave birth during the first song.

Die-hard Pink fan Denise Jones was 36 weeks and five days pregnant when she arrived at Tuesday's gig but by the time she left she was a mum.

The 32-year-old was quickly whisked away during the opening number of  Get The Party Started  and gave birth just four minutes after Pink took to the stage.

Paramedics were astounded by just how quickly Denise, from Huyton, delivered her gorgeous baby girl who has now been given the most fitting name - Dolly Pink.

Now ECHO readers have had their say.

One reader joked it was the "best delivery at Anfield since Trent's corner against Barca."

Gail Lunt said: "Congratulations and well done to everyone involved in the safe delivery of your beautiful baby girl."
