The TV star shared a sweet snap from the delivery room

"She's currently on the boob," said Danielle.

"Orla kept us waiting.

"I'm not even going to talk about the labour, I'll save that for another day. She's here and that's all that matters.

"I am exhausted. I think all women who have children are superheroes. And the midwives.

"I literally feel like I've been hit by a bus.

"I'm so pleased she's here, I feel like the happiest girl in the world."

Danielle got engaged to Tommy in March - but they were actually childhood sweethearts.

Danielle said she had given up on love before falling head over heels for her friend who she first met 22 years ago.
