Myleene Klass has given birth to her first child – a daughter called Ava.
The baby was born three-and-a-half weeks early and weighed in at 5lbs 9oz.
The I'm A Celebrity... runner-up gave birth in a hospital in London with fiancé Graham Quinn at her side.
Her spokesman said: "Myleene had a problem-free labour, and mother and baby are doing well. She and Graham are ecstatic. The baby is named Ava Quinn."
The 29-year-old went into labour after presenting BBC One's The One Show with Adrian Chiles.
"Myleene presented The One Show and felt a bit weird on the way home," her spokesman said. "She went to the hospital to get checked out and they told her she was in labour.
"The birth went very smoothly and all is well, but her stint on the show is obviously over."
Oh at last.. a celeb that has picked a regular name for their child and not something stupid.
Good luck to them all
aaaawww i love that name ...congrats to her and her partner

Sorry but I just had to post this. It's from The Sun :rotfl:
WHEN Emma Robbins met Tinky Winky it was love at first sight.
The sassy Sheilas’ Wheels singer was auditioning for a pop tour and Simon Shelton, who went on to play the purple kids’ character, was casting.
Although Emma didn’t win Simon over with her dancing, she did win over his heart - and has been in love with a Teletubby ever since.
Emma, 39, from Liverpool, says: “Simon is a professional choreographer and was looking for girls who could sing and dance for Cliff Richard’s 1991 tour.
“I went along and found the moves quite difficult, but when I saw Simon I had other things on my mind.
“I didn’t say Eh-Oh. More like ‘Hellloooo.’
“Funny enough Simon didn’t give me the Cliff job. But he did become my husband so I suppose that made up for it.
“We married quickly because I wanted to get hitched before he could go off me.”
The couple’s wedding photo as they swapped vows at Golders Green in London shows 6ft3' Simon towering over Emma at 5ft10'.
It was the talented choreographer’s large frame that clinched him the role of Tinky Winky in the most popular British kids’ TV show ever – the Teletubbies.
Emma says: “The show had been running for about six months when the producers decided to get rid of the original Tinky Winky, Dave Thompson.
“Those costumes are worth about £30,000 each so there was no question of having a new one made for the next actor.
“At well over six foot Simon fitted Tinky Winky’s suit perfectly and he took on the role in 1997.
“Initially he was signed for one series, but ended up playing the part full-time for five years.”
At the time Emma was busy working as a backing singer for the likes of Michael Ball and Michael Bolton.
And she admits to being slightly apprehensive about her husband’s unconventional role as a purple creature.
Emma says: “As Simon described the costume for the first time I wondered what he’d got himself into.
“The eyes and mouths are controlled from the inside and he’d get really hot and sweaty.
“It sounded like a lot of hard work, and a bit weird.
“Naturally I got to visit Teletubby land on several occasions.
“It was located near Stratford-Upon-Avon down loads of winding country lanes and dirt tracks.
“Suddenly you’d see the round hills on the horizon and the place definitely had a magical feel to it.
“Just like the show itself.”
Emma and Simon have two children – Lydia, 15, and Henry, 11.
Both kids had trouble convincing teachers their dad really was Tinky Winky, the Teletubby with a red handbag.
Emma laughs: “I remember Lydia coming home upset from nursery school.
“The teacher had gone round the class asking what the kids’ parents did for a living.
“When Lydia said, ‘My dad is a Teletubby,’ everyone burst out laughing and no-one would believe her.
“She probably didn’t mind too much though, because she loved watching her dad jumping around as Tinky Winky.”
The final Teletubbies episode aired in 2001, but Simon still hasn’t hung up his costume for the last time.
Emma says: “Because of the endless re-runs and a global following Simon has loads of special events to attend.
“We were in New York in March when the Teletubbies were presented with the keys to the city.
“It was to recognise a programme that is still watched by a billion children around the world.
“In a couple of weeks Simon’s off to Amsterdam as part of a kids’ tour.
“It’s unbelievable really. We never dreamt he would be part of such a massive phenomenon.”
On Monday Emma’s group, The Sheilas, launch their first single I’m So Happy Happy You’re Mine.And she hopes the band, who rocketed to fame singing the jingle for Sheilas’ Wheels insurance, will achieve the same success as the Teletubbies.
Meanwhile the trio’s only brunette is keen to lay persistent rumours about Tinky Winky’s sexual persuasion to rest.
Emma says: “Of course he’s not gay. Just because Tinky Winky has a magic bag doesn’t mean he’s gay.
“That was all whipped up in the American press.
“He certainly wasn’t gay last night, if you know what I mean.”
Parton turns down judge role on 'Idol'
Dolly Parton has turned down an invitation to appear on American Idol as one of the judges, because she thinks she would be too nice to the contestants.
The music legend was asked to join the existing judges on the reality TV singing contest, but she doesn't think she has it in her to be mean and tell hopeful acts that they "suck".
Parton has however agreed to film an episode where the competitors will perform songs as a tribute to her music, but she will only help the contestants backstage.
She said: "I won't be a judge. I couldn't do that. I can't tell people they aren't doing a good job even if they ask me.
"To tell someone if they're good or bad, or if they suck isn't me."
Spears loses custody of children
Singer Britney Spears has been ordered to hand over her two young children to her former husband.
A judge in Los Angeles ruled that Kevin Federline be given custody of Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James, until further notice.
Ms Spears has recently been charged over a motoring incident, and dropped by her management firm.
Representatives for Ms Spears and Mr Federline were not immediately available for comment.
The judge's order came 10 days after the 25-year-old singer was charged with leaving the scene of an accident after allegedly driving into a parked car, and driving without a valid licence.
If found guilty she could go to jail for six months.
Her comeback appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month was also panned by critics.
Last month Judge Scott Gordon said Ms Spears showed "a habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol".
She was ordered to undergo random drug and alcohol tests twice a week as part of her child custody dispute with Mr Federline.
The judge also ordered Ms Spears and Mr Federline to complete a parenting class.
However, on Monday he ruled that Mr Federline "is to retain physical custody of the minor children on Wednesday October 3, 2007 at 12pm until further order of the court", the official court documents said.
Ms Spears married the backing dancer in October 2004, but the pair filed for divorce last November.
The divorce was finalised on 30 July and since then the estranged couple have shared an equal amount of time with the two boys.
However, Mr Federline has been fighting for greater time and more money.
