Prior to giving birth, Sharon revealed she had plans to welcome her son via elective caesarean – but admitted the decision goes against medical advice. Appearing on Vanessa Feltz’s Channel 5 show, the star revealed she’d chosen to pursue a c-section after carefully weighing up her options, despite healthcare professionals encouraging her to consider a vaginal birth. “So I controversially elected for an elective cesarean, because I don’t want an assisted birth,” she said. “I don’t want some of these stories to play out in my birthing plan.” Vanessa asked her if her decision was welcomed by the midwives as she recalled it not being “on the menu” when she was pregnant and was persuaded against having “major abdominal surgery.” Sharon replied: “I think that some of the midwives I spoke to were reluctant to put me forward, but I hadn’t changed my mind anytime we’d gone in for a midwife appointment. “I’m not one of those people to change my mind or budge once I’ve made my mind up; that’s what I want to do. “And I’ve been very fortunate that the regular midwife I had has supported me through that.” Sharon and Matthew started dating in March 2025. The new mum took part in Love Island five years ago alongside the likes of Millie Court, Chloe Burrows and Faye Winter. Comment now
