She wrote: "Little bit sick of the grief I am getting after posting this yesterday. By no means was I bragging of having an 'easy birth' it wasn't like that at all."

Georgia also opened up about the realities of childbirth, sharing details of the "intense" pain she felt. She said: "So for those wondering, I was induced the evening before and had my waters broke the following morning at 7am and Hugh was in my arms by 12.31pm.

"I must add I was also on a hormone drip and took part in research to see if the higher the dose of hormones given would reduce the risk of a section so let me tell you the contractions were intense.

"I was having eight mega contractions every 10 minutes and suddenly he appeared. It was down the higher dosage of hormones why things happened so quickly which yeah is great but very painful when your only having gas and air which I thought was s*** and didn't make a difference. I tore ridiculously so needed a hell of a lot of stitches."
