Lily Cooper last night gave birth to a little girl.

The pop star had her longed for first child in the early evening on Friday.

And it comes just a year after the 26-year-old tragically had a miscarriage when she was six months pregnant.

Lily Cooper had last displayed her baby bump at Halloween, where she tweeted: 'Me, bump and pumpkin, i did it last night during x-factor.'


It was not known last night if her husband Sam Cooper - who she married in June - was with her at the birth.

However, last night a close friend admitted the birth had been ‘all good.’
A spokesman, though, declined to comment.

Her DJ, close friend and former boyfriend Seb Chew last night Tweeted: ‘sending out love to lily, sam and mini cooper......YES.’

The singer told fans on Twitter in October she had begun to suffer from Braxton Hicks – false labour pains which can begin as many as six weeks before the due date.

During a newspaper interview in September Lily said her mum, film producer Alison Owen was desperate to know the sex of her grandchild-to-be: ‘It’s between me and my husband. She thinks she knows what it is and whenever she calls me she refers to the baby as Betty.’

The birth is particularly poignant for the couple who have suffered miscarriage pain in the past.

Last November the retired singer was rushed to hospital with a suspected viral infection and later lost a baby boy at six months.
