Charlotte celebrates birth of girl - Sept 23 2007
Welsh singer Charlotte Church has given birth to a girl.

The 21-year-old Channel 4 chat show host opted for a home birth at the plush farmhouse she shares with her boyfriend and Welsh rugby international, Gavin Henson, in St Brides Major, in the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales.

A spokeswoman for Church said: "A baby girl was born sometime on Thursday evening or possibly Friday morning. Midwives were present at the home birth." The spokeswoman had no details of the baby’s weight or name.

A message posted by the webmaster of the singer’s internet site, www.charlottechurch.com, said: "Gavin has informed us that Charlotte gave birth to a beautiful baby girl at home on Thursday night.

"Gavin was there at the birth. He has told us that mother and baby are doing just fine. We have no further details yet, but we expect to be able to bring an exclusive announcement from the couple some time on Monday.

"I’m sure everyone will agree that this is fantastic news and will want to join us at CC.com in wishing them our very best."

Henson was omitted from the Ospreys regional rugby squad for their Magners League match against Ulster on Friday night despite predictions from his coach he would be on the bench before the game.

In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, Church said her attempts to buy a pregnancy test in secret didn’t go to plan. She told the magazine: "I missed a period so I had to find out if I was pregnant.

"I didn’t want to go to a chemist in case anyone saw me, so I thought I’d put on a hoodie, go to Tesco, buy a test and put it through the self-checkout.

Biography

Born in Llandaff, Charlotte Church has loved music ever since she can remember. "When I was three-and-a-half, I sang ’Ghostbusters’ with my cousin at a seaside holiday camp in Caernarfon. When we’d finished, she left the stage, but I refused to go, they had to drag me off!"

Five years later and Charlotte was making a name for herself at local karaoke competitions, and then...

"I was watching the Richard and Judy show on TV and they said they were looking for talented kids. No-one was around so I phoned up," she says. "The producers said I had to sing down the phone. So I did ’Pie Jesu’ and that was it, I was invited on the show. Mum and Dad were the last to find out!"

This led to even more television performances, as well as high profile concerts at the London Palladium, the Royal Albert Hall and Cardiff Arms Park. "It all went a bit mad!" laughs Charlotte.

Now eighteen Charlotte has become a media icon. A ill advised relationship with ’model’ and all round bad boy Steven Johnson and on going arguments with her mother have put Charlotte very much under public scrutiny, but it has only made her more popular. Charlotte will turn her hand to anything these days, she presented Have I Got News For You? made a guest appearance on a dance track and even starred in a film, I’ll Be There. She is a chat show regular, openly voicing her opinions about fellow stars in a very down to earth way.

She may be one of the richest teenagers in the UK after coming into her fortune on her eighteenth but Charlotte Church is as normal as they come.
