Jamelia gave birth to her third baby last December after a pregnancy that she mostly kept secret
Jamelia has today opened up about the moment her three-month-old baby almost died.
But the singer, who gave birth to her "miracle" baby True in December, appeared on This Morning and revealed that as well as being premature, the little girl overcame a nearly fatal experience.
Jamelia revealed that True stopped breathing earlier this year, and she was forced to perform CPR on her baby, who was just four weeks old at the time.

She told Eamonn and Ruth that she had been holding the baby on her chest when she suddenly flung herself backwards.
She said: "After two minutes, I remember my daughter going limp. I felt like she was giving up. I thought she was going to die."
Jamelia screamed for her other two daughters, Teja, 17 and 12-year-old Tiani, for help, who called the emergency services and were able to coach her through the crucial life-saving advice from the telephone operator.
She said: "If it wasn’t for my older daughters, I don’t know if True would still be here. I did not cope well with the pressure, I didn’t know what to do."
She implored other parents to ensure they would know what to do: "Don’t make the same mistake I did. Get yourself educated and if your child stops breathing, you will know what to do.
"A lot of people make the wrong assumptions. This is why they encourage you to get first aid training on a yearly basis."
Ruth clarified that True had a reflux problem which meant it might happen again, and Jamelia said: "Even up to yesterday she had an episode, she was choking and I was able to deal with it and she was fine within about five seconds. The difference of having that knowledge is invaluable. As a mother you want to be in control."
She added: "She choked yesterday and I knew exactly how to deal with it. I was calm and I was confident all because I had the training. A total difference.
"I dread to think what could have happened if my elder daughter had not been there."
