BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Fleur East details 'straddling husband' as she tells dramatic birth story

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Fleur East has detailed her dramatic birth story for the first time as she revealed she was 'straddling' her husband when her daughter made her way into the world.

The radio and TV presenter and her husband Marcel Robin announced over Easter that they had welcomed their first child, a baby girl, into the world.

They shared the first pictures of themselves with their little girl, in which Fleur could be seen carrying their then-newborn in a baby sling as they took a trip out and about.

Fleur confirmed they'd named their daughter Nova and that she made her entrance "via squat position into the arms of my husband and I on our living room floor".
