Even some karaoke haha I couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience bringing our girl into the world. Welcome to the world, our beautiful Soraya Rose Jeanne...'We love you more than you'll ever know.'Speaking after the birth, Amy told The Sun: 'She's lush. I'm so in love. Everyone told me to be open about birth plan and not to set in my ways but I manifested my perfect birth.'I can't thank the midwives and team at the birth centre at Treliske Hospital enough. They were brilliant, especially Naomi my midwife who allowed my birth plan to play out and also put up with my Queen playlist and me singing during contractions.'The Queen soundtrack has always been my favourite and the lyrics to all of Freddie's songs have taken on new meaning since being in labour. It was really special that she was born on Freddie's birthday.' Explaining the meaning, Amy said: 'Soraya means a cluster of stars. It's such a beautiful name. I love the way it sounds and it's not a name that you hear too often.'We are all made from stars and I wanted something that connected to the celestial world. Her middle name, Rose, is a name me and my partner agreed upon straight away, we just love it...'Then Jeanne is a mixture of both my grandmothers’ names – Jean and Anne – who have both passed away.' Amy is pictured with her boyfriend Darren on the showDuring her time on MAFS, Amy split groom Joshua after their final vows, admitting during the reunion that things ended between them due to his 'lack of effort.'A heartbroken Amy added at the time that Joshua also couldn't give a 'real reason' for their break-up.Last year, Amy, who works as a sports presenter for channels including Sky Sports, said taking part in the show 'ruined her life' after work opportunities 'dried up'.Amy previously suffered tragedy whilst pregnant with twins. During her time on MAFS, she emotionally explained: 'I got pregnant with twins. One died, and I had to medically terminate the other one due to complications.'She continued: That absolutely broke me. The two things I want is marriage and babies and I was so close to having both of those things and it didn't work out.'For me the last straw was my mum having a stroke and she nearly died, that was a big eye opener and made me realise as an only child, when my mum goes, who do I have? I want that support system.'
