It’s like a scene form a low budget TV Christmas movie.
A family is celebrating an early Christmas gift with the arrival of baby Skyla who was born 8 days early in a shopping centre toilet. Mum Laura Allen was in Intu Uxbridge to watch ex-Westlife star Brain McFadden switch on the Christmas lights and perform a few tunes. Bless.
As she entered a lift, the stunned mother felt her waters break.
“When my waters broke as we got into the lift, I couldn’t believe it.
I had to get out on the next floor as the contractions had become so intense, but then we rushed down to the ground floor as I knew I had to get to the bathroom. Skyla obviously didn’t want to miss out on all the fun.
“It was a bit of a blur giving birth with Christmas music playing in the background. It was so noisy and surreal as the toilets were full of people. I just knew that I needed to push and had Curtis’ sister and three different members of staff helping me.
Curtis wasn’t even there as Skyla was born, as I’d travelled in his brother’s car while he’d got the bus to the shopping mall. His sister Tiffany basically delivered the baby on her own thanks to what she’d learned from One Born Every Minute.”
Brian McFadden has yet to comment.
