Former Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh has marked her return to Instagram after a four-week hiatus with a sweet photo of her newborn baby.

The TV personality posted a black and white photo of her and husband Hugo Taylor smiling while holding their month-old baby.

Mackintosh and her former co-star announced back in November that they were expecting their first child. Their daughter was born on May 1.

The couple, who were both original cast members on Made in Chelsea, got hitched in July 2018.

Mackintosh captioned the photo with a sweet message, writing: “The first four weeks of your life have been the best four weeks of mine.

"Thank you for making me a Mummy darling girl.”

In the photo, their baby is turned away from the camera, wearing a summery floral hat.

The couple announced that they had become parents in an interview with Hello! magazine, telling the publication: “We are delighted to announce the arrival of our darling girl who arrived on Friday 1 May at 1:21pm, weighing a very healthy seven pounds.

“We are eternally grateful to the doctors, nurses and midwives for taking such good care of us. Mum and baby are both doing incredibly well and we are looking forward to bringing our daughter home and spending time together as a family.”

The couple’s famous friends and Made in Chelsea co-stars sent their love after seeing the new post.

Binky Felstead posted a string of heart emojis, Oliver Proudlock commented “Yeah baby!!!” and other friends such as Rosie Fortescue, Zara Martin and Ashley Roberts also shared their joy.

The pair have been relatively quiet and private about the birth of their child, not yet revealing the baby’s name.

However, Taylor thanked their friends and fans for their support a few days after the birth.

He wrote: “Thank you all so much for the lovely messages, letters, flowers, delicious cupcakes, cookies and warm wishes.

"The 3 of us are very grateful for making this time feel even more special.”

The couple tied the knot in June 2018, one year after Taylor proposed during a holiday to the Greek island of Mykonos.

They had previously dated during their Made In Chelsea days back in 2011, and reunited in May 2016 shortly after Mackintosh’s split from her first husband, rapper Professor Green in February 2016.
