Charlotte Church has revealed gave birth to her third child under a tree after deciding to build herself a "birth palace" in her garden.
The 35-year old singer welcomed her daughter Freda with her husband Jonathan Powell in August 2020, under a tree with candles and dried flowers.
Charlotte confessed that in the midst of her labour pains she was sat outside in the drizzling rain, aware golfers could hear her on a nearby course.

Speaking on Rob Beckett's and Josh Widdecomb's Parenting Hell podcast, Charlotte gave an insight into giving birth to Freda in August 2020.
She said: "I did love birth, but my third birth came and b***h slapped me in the face. I was so unbelievably overconfident, because the first two times, I was 21 and 22, and my body knew just what to do.
"I had two home births, they were quite simple. Don't get me wrong it is still birth. It's still incredibly intense and all the rest of it.
"But it was like.. the third time around. I have become a nature lover, tree hugger, or quite a deep hippy in the interim of having my first two and little baby Freda.
"So I set this birth palace outside basically among the trees. I dried flowers it was so involved. It looked like a Baz Luhrmann set.I had candles everywhere."
Charlotte continued: "So I laboured under there overnight which was beautiful but then I had her screaming on the bathroom floor.
"It started drizzling at about 7am, and I live next to a golf course. And I started to really hear the golfers.
"My noise... I am a noisy woman anyway but if I'm in any sort of pain. My noise started to up I thought: 'This is not going to work'. There I was birthing in the trees."
In August Charlotte, who is also mother to Ruby, 14, and Dexter, 12, with her ex Gavin Henson, first revealed the name of her baby daughter.
Speaking on This Morning she said: "She's delicious, little miss Freda Simone. She's almost 11 months now and she still is causing me some serious sleepless nights still."
