Fans of Eastenders who have an OK! magazine subscription might be interested in reading about a former star of the TV soap.
Natalie Cassidy, who played Sonia in the series from 1993, recently gave birth to a daughter, who has been named Eliza Beatrice.
She told OK! magazine that she and fiance Adam Cottrell are "on cloud nine" following the arrival of their first child.
"We're amazing! We're on cloud nine," she told the publication.
"We keep crying all the time. We're a family! I can't believe she's ours. She's so beautiful, I can't begin to tell you - I know everybody says that about their own baby but she really is."
The only thing Natalie was disappointed with is that she ended up having to give birth by caesarean, which isn't something she wanted.
"At one point I was even thinking of having a home birth, so I was really upset when I realised it was going to have to be a caesarean. I was sobbing my heart out.
"I know it sounds ridiculous but it just seemed like such a 'celebrity' thing to do, to have a caesarean, with the whole 'too posh to push' thing."
