Helen Flanagan has shared new photos of her adorable baby after giving birth to her first son earlier this week.
The former Coronation Street actress, 30, welcomed her third child into the world with fiancé Scott Sinclair, 32, and admitted she is 'totally besotted' with her 'perfect little prince.'
Baby Charlie was the perfect present for the ex- Celtic player, who arrived on his 32nd birthday.
Helen, who is also mum to Delilah and Matilda, has been quiet on social media since giving birth but returned to update fans as she shared the first photos of her baby.
The mum-of-three posted a snap standing in hospital cuddling her baby and another of her and Scott post-birth as she gushed about life as a family of five.
She penned: "Our baby boy Charlie was born on Thursday on Scott’s birthday. I was two days overdue like I was with Delilah.
"We are in such a love bubble we couldn’t be more in love with our beautiful little boy, we can not stop staring at him.
"The girls just love him so much. We are absolutely besotted with our perfect little prince.
"Charlie is an absolute dream come true. I don’t think I’ve slept much since the labour but I feel like I miss his little face when I do sleep, not been able to put him down or stop kissing and cuddling him, he is so loved.
"Thank you for all your lovely messages," she added to her followers.
In her next post, Helen opened up about the details of her labour.
Alongside a black and white selfie taken just after she welcomed her boy, Helen recalled: "One of my proudest moments is giving birth to Charlie.
"I was so lucky I had the loveliest midwife looking after me that day and Scott and I are so grateful to her for the safe delivery of our boy.
"She was amazing and held my hand with Scott through it. I wanted a water birth like I had with Delilah.
"Delilahs birth was so quick, only two hours and really straight forward. I had to have my waters broken with Charlie though and he pooed.
"So I gave birth on the bed and didn’t let go of my gas and air for a second I feel like I can do anything now and it was really magical. He was 8lbs 4.5oz which is mine and Scott’s biggest baby our girls were really petite.
"It was really nice to have Charlie at Bolton Hospital too where my mum gave birth to me," she revealed.
It comes as Scott, who now plays for Preston North End, said the baby was a 'blessing'.
As he showed of the photo of Helen cuddling their new arrival – as he smiled for the camera, he wrote: "‘I couldn’t ask for a better gift on my Birthday, what a blessing!!!"
"Welcome to the world son. Charlie Scott Sinclair 25/03/21."
