This Morning's Sian Welby gives sweet update on baby daughter and shares 'new perspective'

This Morning and Capital Breakfast star Sian Welby has shared how becoming a mum to her daughter Ruby has given her a "new perspective" on life. The 38 year old star and her fiancé Jake Beckett welcomed their first child together in June and she's been loving every moment of motherhood, despite the challenges.

Speaking at Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard, Sian admitted: "Like any parent at the minute at this time of the year, she’s been ill, she’s had a cold, I’ve been sucking snot – it’s not been very glamorous, and I’ve not had much sleep as normal, and you’ve still got the 4am alarm for work!" But despite the tough days, she said: "However, it’s been just amazing, and I’ve just enjoyed every moment, really – even those tough days, it’s just given me a whole new perspective."

Since announcing her pregnancy back in February, Sian has kept fans updated on her journey, including the emergency C-section she underwent after a planned water birth didn't go as expected. Now, listeners of Capital Breakfast often ask about little Ruby.

Sian shared her joy, saying: "What’s been amazing for me is the listeners from Capital saw me through the whole pregnancy, and then through the birth, and then while I had Ruby, they’ve been on that journey with me."

She added, "I honestly, genuinely, get stopped in the lift or in the street, and people ask, ‘How’s little Ruby?’"

Sian expressed how touched she is that her audience feels connected to her life, explaining, "And it’s lovely that people feel like they know me, and they ask after her, and I feel like that’s what our show has become – a real family but also like a friendship where people do feel like they know us, and we feel like that about them as well."

Now at five months old, Sian revealed some sweet insight into being a mum. She admitted: "The Dancing Fruit – if you know, you know! " She continued, "She just loves bouncing. She’s this kid that loves to bounce on anything, she’s got a bouncy seat. " Sian also mentioned, "I’m going to try and get her one of those things that you hang in the door in the way you just spring up and down."
