Chanelle Hayes is due to give birth in August

Chanelle Hayes is now a new mother.

She delivered her son yesterday morning.

'I'm a mummy,'  the Big Brother 8 star Tweeted, on 'the happiest day' of her life.

Chanelle's spokesperson has confirmed her little boy arrived at 6am at a Leeds hospital, weighing in at 6lb 9oz.

The 22-year-old started dating Jade Goody's ex Jack
Tweed
earlier this year but the relationship didn't last.

The father of her child is her ex-boyfriend, Middlesbrough footballer Matt Bates.

After a premature birth scare, Chanelle was told she had anaemia and had to eat a special diet of 'bananas and black pudding'.
