Pink responds to news of baby girl being born at her Anfield concert

Pink has taken to Instagram after hearing that a baby girl was born at her Anfield concert.

Dolly Pink made her impromptu appearance during the Get The Party Started, the first song of the show , surprising mum Denise and the crowd around her.

The 6lb 4.5oz bundle of joy was then given a unique name at the last minute to remember the event with.

Mum Denise, from Huyton , said that she had originally planned to call her baby girl Dolly Louise, but made the change to fit the circumstances.

And now, the the performer has taken to social media to respond to the news.

Posting a screenshot of the ECHO news article to her Instagram grid, Pink posted: "Dolly Pink wanted to get the party started."

Her fans have replied wishing congratulations on Denise Jones and her partner Chris Dryhurst.

Liverpool fans also took to social media to react to the amazing story.

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

Susan Jayne Crispin-Harding said: "She should be given a free season ticket for life off Liverpool FC since she was born there..."

Denise was 36 weeks and five days pregnant when she arrived at  Tuesday's gig  before shockingly going into labour just before the first song.

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

Paramedics were astounded by just how quickly Denise, from  Huyton , gave birth to the little girl.

Speaking to the  ECHO  from a bed at the  Women's Hospital  , Denise jokingly said: "I'm still massively in shock, just a bit gutted I missed the concert.

"But I couldn't be any happier right now!"
