The former I’m A Celeb star’s new arrival comes as a great start to the year, after she revealed she was mugged for her phone just days before giving birth.
Amy revealed her pregnancy in October just months after confirming her engagement to her partner of three years in April.
The blonde described her journey to parenthood as ‘definitely the most wonderful engagement present we could ever wish for’ in an interview with Hello! magazine.

The couple chose to wait two months longer than the recommended 12 weeks before revealing the pregnancy after they sought an amniocentesis to check for any disorders.
An amniocentesis can detect the chromosomal abnormalities that cause Downs, Edwards or Patau syndromes by taking a sample of the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby by inserting a hollow needle into the uterus.
Despite initially planning to marry this summer, Amy revealed the pair may push back the wedding.
She said at the time: ‘We want to get it right. If it happens next summer as we had planned, amazing. If it happens a little later, that’s okay, too.

‘Our wedding is about telling our friends and family that we want to be together forever and what counts is that our little baby will be with us. That’s really special.’
The winner of Miss Universe Great Britain admitted she expected a day of skiing on the slopes during a holiday in March 2019, and was surprised by Dan’s proposal.
Cautious Amy hilariously revealed she asked the sunglasses entrepreneur to propose again because he made his original proposal on two bended knees, rather than the tradition one.
At the early stages of their romance, she praised Daniel for giving her confidence during a candid interview back in August 2016.

The reality star, who was forced to deny that she was engaged just months after going public with her relationship, gushed to MailOnline: ‘It’s going really well and I’m very happy.’
She previously revealed she was so secure in her romance that she has been able to share relationship tips with her loved ones.
She told the Daily Star newspaper in February 2017: ‘Now that I finally have a normal relationship I feel like I’ve become the counsellor.

‘Guys can be possessive, which is an issue I’ve always had. My past boyfriends have not been able to let me go and trust I’ll come back.’
Amy previously dated former TOWIE star Joey Essex after they struck up a friendship while appearing on I’m A Celeb in 2013.
She was also romantically linked to One Direction’s Niall Horan, before embarking on a three-month romance with entrepreneur Rob Gough in 2015.
At 17, Amy held the Miss Bristol title and later rose to fame after she won Katie Price’s competition series Signed by Katie Price in 2011.
The bombshell went on to win Miss Bath in 2011, Miss London in 2012 and then reached the top 5 in the Miss England contest.
Amy has since forged a successful career in reality TV, starring in series such as I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and The Jump.
