Former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Casey Batchelor has shared the first image of her newborn daughter in a beautiful photoshoot.
The reality star gave birth to her first child on May 24 and had kept the little one’s gender a secret until this week.
Posing in the new issue of OK! magazine, the model revealed for the first time she and boyfriend Dane Goodson are proud parents to a baby girl named Florence Goodson.
Casey was snapped looking blissfully happy as she cradled her adorable daughter.
She told the magazine of motherhood: “You just have this uncontrollable love for a little human. Small, menial things don’t really matter any more, because you’ve got a human to look after.”

Casey revealed her labour was traumatic with “unbearable” pain that got so bad she ended up vomiting on herself.
“Dane was so worried,” she recalled.
“Right now I don’t know if I could do that pain again. She was worth it, though.”
Casey praised partner of two years Dane for being a brilliantly supportive boyfriend and father, and hinted she’s ready for him to get down on one knee.
She said: “I’m waiting for the ring. We’re going to get married, it’s just when.”
“It’s a real cliché to say, but he’s my best friend, soulmate and partner,” she added. “I’ve never had that with anyone before. We get on so well. We’ve had one argument the whole time we’ve been together and that was about his golf. I didn’t think any of this would happen for me.
“I thought all men were just idiots, but he’s amazing.”

Casey announced her daughter’s birth a few days after it happened, choosing to keep the moment private for a little while.
She broke the news with a sweet photo of her baby’s tiny hand.
Her caption read: “I haven’t been on social media as I’ve been slightly busy the past few days. We have finally welcomed our beautiful baby. I’m going to take some time out to enjoy and cherish these precious new born moments. But wanted to let you all know as I’ve been having lots of messages.
“I’ll update you with details and with beautiful pictures soon.”

“We’re going to be traditional. If we have any more we’ll find out, but for the first one it’s nice to have a surprise,” she told New magazine.
“I’m really happy with either, as I know I want more children.”
