Lots of people have been wondering what Ella’s middle name is since Natasha Hamilton and Ritchie Neville appeared in an episode of “Seven Days With…” on ITVBe.

In it, we saw Ritchie beg his girlfriend to let him christen their daughter 'Ella Awesome' - and, unsurprisingly, Twitter went into overdrive with people questioning the VERY unusual name choice!

NATASHA HAMILTON UNVEILS PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF THAT SHE IS EATING HER PLACENTA

Speaking about Ritchie Neville's initial plans to christen their daughter 'Ella Awesome', Natasha Hamilton explained that, while she initially hated it as a middle name, it began to grow on her.

Speaking via her blog at * Baby.co.uk*, she said: "We had always had the name Ella, but couldn’t decide on a middle name.

"Rich said to me one day: 'I really need you to take me seriously and have a good think about this name I really like'. I said 'OK, what is it?' He told me 'Awesome', as in something surfers and teenage mutant ninja turtles say!

"Needless to say, I wasn’t very amused and asked if he was winding me up. This went on for quite a while. Then I realised he was deadly serious. But the strange thing was, the more I sat with it, the more I began to like it, it just had some kind of ring to it – Ella Awesome!"

But, before you get too excited about it, mum-of-four Natasha eventually decided against it.

She said: "After a few weeks contemplating it and asking family about it and getting back deadpan faces, we thought better of it and went with Ella Rose.

"To be honest, I think baby brain took over for a while but I’m really pleased with our final decision."

Meanwhile Natasha, who is home alone with sons Josh, Harry, Alfie, and baby daughter Ella while Ritchie is on tour with Five, has admitted she is finding things stressful.

This is mainly due to the fact her little girl has been very poorly.
