TV presenter Michelle Doherty has given birth to her first child, welcoming a baby boy last night.
The former Xposé presenter and her partner Mark O’Shea have not yet revealed their son’s name, but have confirmed that both mother and baby are healthy and happy.
Doherty opened up during her pregnancy on the prospects of motherhood, saying:
“I just always wanted to be a mum and I thought: ‘Whenever it’s the right time I’ll take my blessings.”
The Xposé team led the congratulatory tweets this afternoon, posting:
